Wildlife Refuges
Upper Klamath Basin and Klamath Wildlife Refuges
refuges The free-flowing section of the Klamath River in Siskiyou County is among the most significant birding areas in the West. It is one of the most geologically interesting regions in the country according to Forest Service Biologist, Sam Cuenca. The varied terrain, and variety of vegetation attract numerous bird species. Birders who find this largely undiscovered area can expect to see hundreds of species; the growing list for the free flowing area of the Klamath, from Copco Lake to the Siskiyou County border currently contains 222 birds, 160 normally found in season, and at least 132 breeders.

The Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuges in eastern Siskiyou County are also exceptional birding areas. They are home to the largest population of wintering bald eagles in the United States.
