Bird Watching

Hawk soaringFrom bald eagles to bluebirds, Klickitat County is home or stopover to a tremendous array of birds. Klickitat County offers a wide variety of climates and elevations suitable to innumerable bird species. Waterfowl, hummingbirds and hawks are found in some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world.

In fact, with white and blue birdhouses perched on fence posts throughout the area, Bickleton is known as the "Bluebird Capital of the World".

Other noteworthy birdwatching areas include the upper Klickitat River which is an annual nesting area for numerous pairs of bald eagles. Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge, at the base of Mt. Adams, is a particularly rich layover point for migratory birds.

Birdwatching, along with wildflower hikes, mushroom picking or huckleberry gathering, offers an excellent way to take in the scenic richness of Klickitat County.
