Lake
This habitat is located
along the shorelines of rivers, lakes and wetlands within the Upper Klamath
Basin watershed. Vegetation found in riparian habitats includes
deciduous trees such as willow, cottonwood and aspen which are often found
along the shore lines of these water bodies. Many bird species use
riparian habitats as travel corridors during the spring and fall migrations.
Other birds may use riparian locations as favored sites for nesting and
feeding. |
