For the wildlife enthusiast, a visit to the Klamath Basin Refuges at any season is a voyage of never-ending discovery. Year to year and season to season the dynamic ebb and flow of wildlife is a process of constant change. Over 430 wildlife species have been observed in the Basin including 262 species of birds. Fall and spring bring the drama of one to three million ducks, geese and swans using refuge wetlands as a vital stopover in their annual migrations. Winter bald eagle numbers peak in mid February with Basin populations ranking as the largest recorded in the contiguous United States. Thousands of wetland nesting birds also raise their young on the six Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuges.
The Klamath Basin Refuges consist of a variety of habitats including freshwater marshes, oopen water, grassy meadows, coniferous forests, sagebrush and juniper grasslands, agricultural lands and rocky cliffs and slopes. These habitats support diverse and abundant populations of resident and migratory.
