Region
5 Wildlife Areas
Wildlife Area Managers have been working hard this week on finalizing their
Recreation and Conservation Office grant applications to secure funding for
a variety of important projects for these Wildlife Areas (e.g., species and
habitat restoration, access improvements).
Game
Management Division
Private Lands Access: Biologist Anderson met with a landowner in the
Trout Lake Valley that has a Hunt by Written Permission contract with WDFW.
Restricted Hunting Permits were picked up and discussions were initiated about
potential habitat improvement projects that could occur on his land for improved
oak habitat. The landowner is very pleased with the current program and would
like to see it expanded.
Wildlife
Diversity Division
Clark County Bald Eagles: A combined effort by Biologist Holman and various
volunteers checked several of the known bald eagle nesting territories in Clark
County. Most sites are occupied and productivity looks good in spite of the
long rainy spring. Especially prominent and popular is the bald eagle pair at
Battle Ground Lake State Park. Visitors to the Park enjoy watching the eagles
hunt this volcanic lake surrounded by large Douglas fir and cedar trees. Mallard
ducks and planted rainbow trout provide most meals for these popular eagles.
