Landing/Lake Head

Along the two-mile stretch of road, between landing and bakery, many habitat types are crossed. On the open water of Lake Chelan, look for Common Loons, Horned and Western Grebes, Ring-necked Ducks, Barrow's Goldeneye, Common and Hooded Mergansers. In the marshy areas at the lake's head, look for Mallards, Canada Geese, Gray Catbirds and Soras. The forest edges may yield Nashville, Yellow-rumped, Yellow, Wilson's, MacGillivray's and Townsend's Warblers. Veeries, Swainson's and Varied Thrushes, Olive-sided and Hammond's Flycatchers, Red-breasted Nuthatches as well as Calliope and Rufous Hummingbirds. At the bakery, California Quail may dodge across the road or Common Nighthawks might swoop overhead. Keep eyes open and ears alert for the jackhammer drumming of Pileated Woodpeckers.
