Overwintering Species

The following bird species are normally here only in the summer, or on migration, but some individual birds occasionally overwinter here in small numbers.

See Gus Yaki’s Bird Date and Location Guide for details on each species.  Note that many waterfowl species on this list formerly overwintered regularly, but since the flood of 2005 they no longer do so.
