Virtually all of the Valley specialties are present in the woods, including Altamira and Audubon’s orioles, Gray Hawk, Red-billed Pigeon, and Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl (rare). Rock Wren has been seen in the rock piles along the River’s bank and Northern Jacana has been spotted (rarely) among the vegetated islands below the spillway. Black Phoebe is often seen in winter below the dam. The long spit of land extending from the spillway is part of the United States.
