Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuges

Over 430 species of

wildlife have been identified

in the Klamath Basin’s six National Wildlife Refuges.

In the fall and spring, millions of migrating ducks, geese and swans descend from the Pacific Flyway for rest and nourishment. Their presence is an open invitation to larger predators. A winter population of 1,000 bald eagles begins arriving in the basin by mid-February, feeding on injured, sick and dead waterfowl.

The broad range of habitat within the refuges supports an equally broad range of wildlife: cranes, pelicans, marmots, owls, otters, deer, sheep, porcupine and an estimated 263 bird species.
