Central Oregon hosts many species of migratory birds which
rely upon many habitats including, riparian areas, and alkali
flats, wintering ungulates rely on the high desert's supply
of bitterbrush to make it through the long winter months,
amphibians depend on clean clear water to carry out their
life cycle, and large shy species can seek solitude in roadless
areas.
These web pages covers many species occurring in these central
Oregon counties; Wasco, Jefferson, Deschutes, Klamath, Crook,
and Lake.
