The town of Lyle sits 75 miles east of Vancouver at the mouth of the Klickitat River in the transition area of the Columbia Gorge. Lakes orphaned by hwy 14 along the Columbia River, Balch road east of town along Old Hwy 8 and pull-outs along Hwy 142 in the Klickitat River Gorge offer diverse birding opportunities. Habitats include open grassy slopes and benches, basalt cliffs and outcrops, the rivers and a few small lakes, Garry Oak woodlands, Ponderosa pine groves and mixed pine-oak woodlands.
Partly cloudy, 53F
We parked at an old side road along the north side of Old Hwy 8 about .1 mile west of private Biggers Rd to look for Acorn Woodpeckers and walked a bit along Biggers Rd and Old Hwy 8. Traffic somewhat busy 7:30-8:00, then tapered off again.
