In our continuing series featuring birds sighted in the Backlands, we focus today on a major bird of prey: the Golden Eagle.

Our 2021 annual Newsletter is now available! It includes updates on the dam & water level issues, land rezoning that would affect the watershed, and an invitation for members and volunteers.

This inky black bird with a sharp white stripe on his face is “nearly synonymous” with periodically burned forests like the Backlands, where it feasts on big, juicy wood-boring beetle larvae.

Many Hermit Thrushes established their second nests this season.

A fairly small bird, with a short, triangular crest and long fan-shaped tail, seen in the Church of Christ lands, Williams Lake watershed.
