The following list contains 266 species of birds observed in the general area bounded by the Columbia River on the west, the Blue Mountains on the east, Snake River on the north, and Weston, Oregon on the south.
Most birders rely heavily on a 'field guide' to insure proper identification.
This list is organized in the same order as most field guides. The following 15 species are of accidental or of rare occurrence and are included on the basis of only one or two observations. This bird check list of the Walla Walla area was compiled by members of the Blue Mountain Audubon Society. Suggestions and comments are invited. The Blue Mountain Audubon Society is an active chapter of the National Audubon Society.
