More than 1,000 bald eagles usually winter at Klamath Basin Refuges. There you will find the largest concentration of bald eagles in the lower 48 states. At sunup, the flyout is dramatic when the eagles leave their roosts to feed in the marshes. The complex is a group of six refuges that offer prime eagle habitat. Take the auto tour routes on Lower Klamath and Tule Lake Refuges for second-to-none wildlife viewing. You might spot golden eagles, northern harriers, and red-tailed and rough-legged hawks.
