"The Methow is part of the Okanogan birding region of north central Washington. If you like birding in wide open spaces, give north central Washington a try. The region accounts for less than two percent of the state's population. Of people, that is. When it comes to birds, few other places in North America have as many breeding species (about 200). Migration and winter bring yet more birds; in all, more than 300 species occur in the region."

-Hal Opperman, A Birder's Guide to Washington. American Birding Association, 2003
