Birding in Ferry County

Northern Ferry County and northeastern Okanogan County are dominated by a relatively high mountain range on the east (the Kettle Range) and the Okanogan highlands on the west. Bisecting these mountains is Curlew Lake, drained to the south by the San Poil River and to the north by Curlew Creek and the Kettle River.
