All regionsEdwards PlateauForest birds

White-eyed Vireo in Edwards Plateau has surged: up 23× on the route-weighted index since 1970.

23×Since 1970TrendPercent change in the route-weighted abundance index between a smoothed baseline window and the most recent one. It tracks direction, not absolute population.Full methodology →

Forecast

If the recent trend holds, White-eyed Vireo in Edwards Plateau is projected to rise about 24% by 2029 — from 6.2 in 2024 to a central estimate of 7.7 (95% range 4.6–11). A 5-year backtest shows a typical error of ±11.7%, with 100% of held-out values landing inside the 95% band.
