Publication Name Birds of the Channeled Scablands of Eastern Washington

ID # 618

Authors Mark Houston and Maurice Vial

Publication Date August 1995

Produced By Bureau of Land Management - Spokane District, Washington Ornithological Society

Summary The Channeled Scablands of Eastern Washington refer to a geological feature that is found within a

geographical area. It is not a tight, homogeneous biozone. Much of it has been altered by agriculture and

other types of habitat occur within its boundaries. Consequently, certain bird species are present according

to a distribution unrelated to the specifics of the title. The vastness, although not the exclusive habitat of

wintering raptors or passerines, is certainly well suited to receive them. They are found in larger numbers

in the scablands than they are in neighboring hills or more populated, and more densely farmed areas.

Therefore, in the context of this publication it was logical to include all the bird species present in the

channeled scablands of Eastern Washington.
