We are located on the Pacific Flyway. Many shorebirds,
geese, swans and ducks rest on our lakes and rivers in the
Spring and Fall enroute to and from the high Arctic.
We also have an excellent mix of land types including farms,
swamps, alpine, lakeshore, coniferous and deciduous forests.
Many birds nest in our area and are easy to approach along
the fence rows and wetlands.
