Text Box: The Makah Indian Reservation has 44 square miles that are bordered by the Pacific Ocean and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.  It offers rocky shoreline, sand dunes and offshore islands to many species of birds.  The coastal forests, lowland valleys and wet meadows also attract many nesting, wintering and migrating species. This list includes 239 species of birds that are found year round or seasonally on the Reservation or in the adjacent waters.  It is by no means an exhaustive list.   We would appreciate reports of sightings of unlisted birds to info@neahbaychamberofcommerce.com  Credit:  The information on the page was compiled by the Makah Tribal Planning Department.  Permission for its use was given by the Makah Cultural and Resource Center.
