\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pygmy nuthatches<\/strong> are an uncommon species found throughout the year within
\n the Upper Klamath Basin watershed. This cavity nesting species is found
\n in open stands of pine where suitable nesting cavities are available.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Red-breasted nuthatch<\/strong> are commonly found throughout the year in the Upper Klamath Basin
\n watershed. They are seen primarily in forested areas where conifers are the dominant
\n overstory species. Other habitats include high elevation forest and riparian area.<\/p>\n

\"Western<\/a><\/p>\n

Western bluebirds<\/strong> are seen in the Upper Klamath Basin watershed during the
\n spring and fall migrations, as well as the summer. This uncommon species is
\n observed primarily in open areas of scattered trees and brush.<\/p>\n

\"Western<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Western<\/a><\/p>\n

Western Tanagers<\/strong> are a locally common species in the Upper Klamath and
\n Tule Lake Basin. It is seen in forested upland habitats during the summer as well
\n as the spring and fall migrations. Other habitats include juniper\/sagebrush
\n and high elevation forests.<\/p>\n

\"White-breaste<\/a><\/p>\n

White-breasted Nuthatches<\/strong> are an uncommon species that may be found
\n year-round in most forested habitats. It favors locations with deciduous trees whereas
\n the red-breasted nuthatch is more common in conifers and at higher elevations.<\/p>\n

\"White-headed<\/a><\/p>\n

White-headed woodpeckers<\/strong> are found an uncommon resident species
\n in the northern portion of the Upper Klamath Basin watershed. They may be observed
\n in open Ponderosa pine stands during the summer months. Other habitat
\n includes juniper and sagebrush. <\/p>\n

\"tule<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Golden-mantled<\/a><\/p>\n

Golden-mantled ground squirrels<\/strong> are commonly observed in all wooded and
\n brushy upland habitats in the Upper Klamath and Tule Lake Basins.
\n Other habitats include Juniper\/sagebrush and high elevation forest.<\/p>\n

\"Yellow-pine<\/a><\/p>\n

Yellow-pine chipmunks<\/strong> are seen primarily in the northern portion of
\n the Upper Klamath Basin watershed in open stands of Ponderosa pine.
\n Other habitats include juniper and sagebrush.<\/p>\n

\"tule<\/a><\/p>\n

\"cropland<\/a> Cropland and pasture habitat<\/strong><\/a> are found mostly at the lower elevations (4,100-4,200) within the central and southern portions of the Upper Klamath Basin watershed. This category includes diverse areas within the Upper Klamath and Tule Lake \u0003Basins such as towns, smaller communities, rural residential areas, farms and ranches. The wildlife associated with these habitats have adapted to living close to human development and activities.<\/p>\n

\"2-pt-pixel-black-line\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"small<\/a>Riparian Habitat<\/strong><\/a> is located along the shoreline 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 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 breeding.<\/p>\n

\"2-pt-pixel-black-line\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"deep<\/a> Deep water and permanent marshes<\/strong><\/a> are found in the Upper Klamath and Tule Lake Basins. Habitat includes Klamath, Williamson, Wood, Sprague, and Lost Rivers; Upper Klamath , Clear and Tule Lakes, many smaller deep wetlands
\nand permanent marshes. Fish eating species such as grebes, pelicans, gulls, terns and diving ducks use these wetlands. The vegetation growing in these wetlands
\n(primarily cattail and bulrush stands which are also called \u201ctules\u201d) provide habitat for rails, white-faced ibis, egrets, herons, yellow-headed black birds to name only a few.<\/p>\n

\"2-pt-pixel-black-line\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Abundant<\/a>Abundant shallow wetlands<\/strong><\/a> are found in the Upper Klamath and Tule Lake Basins. These wetlands have historically had water during the winter and spring, but tended to dry out during the summer and fall. Today, most wildlife areas and
\nrefuges manage seasonal wetlands using water control structures to mimic this yearly wet and dry cycle. Wading shorebirds and dabbing ducks are among the diverse wildlife species commonly seen in seasonal marshes and wetlands.<\/p>\n

\"2-pt-pixel-black-line\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"juniper<\/a>Juniper\/Sagebrush habitat<\/strong><\/a> is found most extensively in the southern and eastern portions of the Upper Klamath Basin watershed. Both the Clear Lake area and Lava Beds National Monument have large expanse of this habitat. Plants found here include Western Juniper and several plants collectively known as sagebrush and rabbit brush.<\/p>\n

\"2-pt-pixel-black-line\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"high<\/a>High Elevation Habitats<\/strong><\/a> are forests above 5,500 feet in the Upper Klamath and Tule Lake Basins consisting primarily of Douglas fir, western red cedar and true firs. These habitats are found mostly in the Cascade and Siskiyou mountains. Popular travel destinations with these habitats include Crater Lake National Park, Medicine Lake, Lake of the Woods and the Pacific Crest Trail. Wildlife species found in mountain meadows, streams and lakes as well as those seen above timberline are included in this habitat grouping.<\/p>\n
