Habitat and Birds

This road cuts through dry sagebrush and canyon habitats before ending in the lush Whitehorse Valley (which is actually in Harney County). Dry sagebrush and canyon species are to be expected here. A very strange record of a Long-tailed Jaeger exists from this region. That bird was the first record of this species ever recorded east of the Cascades (Contreras and Kindschy, OFO Publication #8).
