Birding on the Oregon Coast - With the ocean, there is never a time of year without good, often exciting, birdwatching. However, the coast is best for birding August through April, and pelicans, common murrers, and puffins are at the coast only during these months. The links on this page will take you on a tour of the Oregon Coast's birding hot spots from north to south. The NorthWest Bird Guide - by Greg Gillson. Seawatching at Boiler Bay - part of Noel Warner's birding site.
Cabin Lake is located in central Oregon near the town of Fort Rock.
Forest and desert converge here, attracting birds from both habitats. Migrating species such as warblers and flycatchers take advantage of the area's rare water supply. Appreciating the significance of this unique transitional zone, the United States Forest Service set up a water guzzler in the 1940's. Both photo blinds and guzzlers are jointly managed by the Forest Service and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
