Talk:Goose Lake Valley

GNIS
Note that USGS doesn't recognize Goose Lake Valley as a geographic feature, although it appears to be a common designation going back many years. This article might be better categorized as a region rather than a valley. Katr67 (talk) 02:00, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

 * If it is going to be viewed as a region, then the wildlife categories might be expanded to include all the varieties in the adjacent hills. Numerous bird species live in the hills that are only occasional in the valley.Uniquerman (talk) 00:43, 4 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Also Blue Grouse, Sage Grouse, Hungarian Partridge, Chukar Partridge, Mountain Quail, Ring-necked Pheasant, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Merlin, Golden Eagle, Ferruginous Hawk, Sparrow Hawk, Ousels, Goshawk, Rock Dove and Band-tailed Pigeon, Red-tailed Hawk, Swainson's Hawk, Harrier Hawk, turkey vultures, numerous owls, coyotes, martens, weasels, raccoons, opossums, porcupines, beaver, badger, thirteen-lined ground squirrels, least chipmunk, golden chipmunk, yellow marmots, black bear, otter, maybe fishers and Spruce Grouse, and others. I realize it's not a "wildlife of Goose Lake and environs", because the list would be very long, but it is a rich and varied habitat.Euonyman (talk) 18:09, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Goose Lake Valley
Could someone tell me how and when it came to be known as Goose Lake Valley? Has this now become an official designation? Who designated it?

I grew up in Lakeview and had never heard it called Goose Lake Valley until I saw the Wikipedia article. It was always Goose Valley.

No big deal.Uniquerman (talk) 00:21, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Uniquerman (talk) 00:30, 4 June 2011 (UTC)


 * C.S. Drew called it the "Goose Lake Valley" in his "Official Report of the Owyhee Reconnaissance", published in 1865. See landmark summary/distance log on p. 30.  It is also call that in several places in the report text.--Orygun (talk) 21:34, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Warner headwaters in the valley
Bullard, Deadman, Crane, Kelley and Pine Creeks empty into Goose Lake from the Warners, although Deadman Creek's flow is episodic.Euonyman (talk) 20:04, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
