Lower Klamath Wildlife Refuge in Winter

Our latest visit to the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge was absolutely amazing! We've never been to the refuge in winter and the snow-dusted mountains and foothills did not disappoint.

We saw dozens of different bird species and I highly recommend this area if you're looking to check off some birds on your Big Year or lifelist.
This is just a small sampling of some of the birds and ducks we spotted on the auto tour...

What they say about the large concentration of Bald Eagles here is no joke either. We counted over thirty eagles between both refuges (Lower Klamath and Tule Lake) and I'll post those photos tomorrow.

Here's the link to the refuge website in case you need more info to plan your own visit.
