Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area - Riparian Forest

Riparian Forest

Riparian vegetation consists of willows, cottonwoods, black walnut and other tree species. Nesting species include Swainson's hawks, great-horned owls, wood ducks, tree swallows, and black phoebe. This habitat is very important for neo-tropical migrants such as blue grosbeak, ash-throated flycatchers, and a variety of warbler species. Most riparian vegetation is located along Putah Creek in the central part of the Wildlife Area.

Famous quotes containing the word forest:

    “For Nature ever faithful is
    To such as trust her faithfulness.
    When the forest shall mislead me,
    When the night and morning lie,
    When the sea and land refuse to feed me,
    ‘Twill be time enough to die.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
