Seasonal Highlights
Fall: August and September are peak months for viewing Pelicans, Egrets, Herons, and Grebes. An estimated one to two million ducks and geese migrate through the Basin each October and November.

Winter: From November through February over 500 Bald Eagles - the largest concentration in lower 48 states - winter near Bear Valley Roost in the Klamath Basin.

Spring: March to May brings shorebirds and waterfowl migrating north to Alaska and Canada. Thousands return to nest in Klamath Marshes.

Summer: Brood-rearing by 200,000 ducks, geese, herons, egrets and grebes can be seen from May to August.

American White Pelicans . . .
One of the largest birds in North America, pelicans can soar for long distances and often fly in line or V formations.

Dancing Grebes . . .
While this mating ritual could occur anytime during spring or summer, late April through May is probably the peak time to observe it. Putnam's Point at the south end of Upper Klamath Lake is normally an excellent place to look.

Bald Eagles . . .
The Klamath Basin also hosts the largest nesting numbers of Bald Eagles in the lower 48 states. Bald Eagles may be observed during the spring and summer months along the West Side of Upper Klamath Lake and at Klamath Marsh National Wildlife Refuge.

The Ride Along . . .
In June and July you can observe the fledging phase as the young ride on the parent's back when in the water
