Bird pictures and songs
Eastern Washington
Birdwatchers can see a variety of resident bird species year-round throughout
the Columbia Basin. The Columbia River and pothole
lakes of the region provide habitat for a variety of migratory waterfowl
and other birds that can be spotted throughout the spring and summer,
while areas along the ponderosa
pine belt rimming the arid basin support some of the richest densities
of bird species in the state of Washington. For bird watching ideas in
the region, see the Eastern Washington maps and related links below.
