Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge

Today we celebrated a
friend's birthday with an outing to the
Klamath Basin National Wildlife
Refuge,
where we made a loop from Eagle Point to Klamath
Falls via Hwy 140, then down Hwy 97 to Miller
Island, Worden, The Bear Valley Refuge, Dorris,
and the Lower Klamath Refuge. Not only did we see
a bald eagle in flight, but tens of thousands of
Canadian Geese, Snow Geese, and an assortment of
ducks, egrets, herons, and many more species. A
perfect day for bird-watching even for novices
like me! Watching a flock fly low overhead in
drove after drove, hearing only the sound of wings
was a magical experience! Here's a photo of a tiny
portion of the population we saw with Mount
McLaughlin (which I had the pleasure of climbing
last summer) in the background.
