More and more people of all ages are participating in this pastime. Bird-watching has become one of this area's most enjoyable events. The Lewis River area is fortunate to have a huge diversity of local birds, as well as those just migrating through. People living in the area can view birds in their own back yards. The Woodland Bottoms, an area just west of town, is a great place to spot all kinds of water birds, hawks, eagles, swallows, finches, and many other species. Traveling up the Lewis River, noticeable changes in the kinds of birds sited occur. Some birds stay at the higher elevations of the foothills. Bring your binoculars and enjoy.
