Bird Watching Hotspot The Klamath Basin is well known to Birding groups. Its abundance and diversity of birds thrives due to a wide range of habitats including marshes, open water, coniferous forest, Juniper woodlands, oak-chaparral, sagebrush-grasslands, grassy meadow and rocky cliffs. There are approximately 350 different species that frequent the Basin each year. Southern Oregon provides many wonderful bird-watching opportunities for both enthusiasts and admirers. According to KlamathBirdingTrails.com, these are a few of the species that appear seasonally in the Great Basin: 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.
