The Honey Lake shoreline supports a handful of overwintering Mountain Plover. Interior species such as American Avocet and Wilson's Phalarope are particularly numerous, and are joined in summer by large numbers (1000+ pr.) of breeding California and Ring-billed gulls (Shuford and Ryan 2000), as well as one of three large Caspian Tern colonies in northeastern California (Shuford 1998). and Oregon's Summer and Abert Lakes, Honey Lake comprises one of major natural wetland complexes of the western Great Basin, sharing 300,000 shorebirds (that commute among the four sites), based on recent surveys in spring and fall (Warnock et al. Huge numbers of waterfowl and shorebirds utilize the wetlands from spring through fall, including breeding Snowy Plover, which maintained one of its largest nesting aggregations in California here (200+ birds) during the 1970s (Page and Stenzel 1981). The Honey Lake Valley is situated along a major transition area between the Sierra Nevada and the Great Basin, and supports a very high diversity of breeding species. Updated December 2008 Ornithological Summary Other riparian habitats are limited to scrub associated with the Susan River in the north, and large rock outcrops are found in the Diamond Mtns. Lake Leavitt, just to the northwest, is a 2500-acre natural depression that supports wetland and riparian (willow thicket) habitat, managed by the local irrigation district with assistance from DFG (F. Major bird habitats of the Honey Lake Valley include the vast alkali mudflats around the margins of the lake grassland and sagebrush flats and extensive constructed wetlands (impoundments) on the wildlife area and within the Jay Dow, Sr. The broad sagebrush ocean of the western Great Basin extends to the north and east. 395, beyond which lie the heavily-forested Diamond Mountains, essentially a spur of the Sierra Nevada. Several private holdings, mainly dedicated to alfalfa production, are found along Hwy. Wetlands (private) protect about 1500 acres of wetlands in large impoundments. The ownership of the lake and surrounding valley is complex, with the Sierra Army Depot (DoD) dominating the eastern end of the lake, and the 8000-acre Honey Lake Wildlife Area (State of California) at the northwestern end.
