Birds of the Bulkley and lower Kispiox Valleys: A Checklist
This checklist covers the main Bulkley Valley from Houston north to the junction of the Bulkley and Skeena Rivers, as well as the lower Kispiox Valley. Most of the area has an interior continental climate, but the moderating coastal influence penetrates inland to the lower Bulkley and Kispiox Rivers and some of the western tributary valleys, which have a transitional climate. The climate variation, combined with diverse topography, produces a great variety of habitats. These include conifer, deciduous and mixed forests, shrubby grasslands, wetlands, subalpine parkland , alpine tundra, many agricultural pasturelands and fields, as well as numerous lakes, streams and rivers. This diversity is reflected in the number and variety of bird species present. The checklist includes 237 species, of which 35 are considered casual or accidental species.
The list is based on a checklist originally compiled from direct observations and literature reports by Mike Morrell in the 1970’s.
