Silvery Winter Skies and Snow Flurries: Yakima River Delta viewed from Columbia Point, Richland, South-Eastern Washington State. In the Columbia River Basin, at the Confluence of the Yakima and Columbia Rivers, is the Yakima River Delta, home to many species of birds and other wildlife, and a local favorite natural area. Mountain bikers and other cyclists, walkers, hikers, fishermen, dog walkers and many others enjoy this natural area for its undeveloped scenic beauty close to town. Winter is often a great time to view scores of waterfowl and other birds who use the welcoming waters and sheltering shores of the delta for sustenance and respite as they travel southward for winter.
