Welcome to the Klamath Basin Audubon Society
The Klamath Basin Audubon Society welcomes birders and wildlife enthusiasts to monthly programs, field trips, and other activities that enhance the appreciation of the spectacular beauty of the Klamath Basin. We produce the annual Winter Wings Festival celebrating the largest wintering population of bald eagles in the lower 48 states as well as the abundance of all the birds that make the Klamath Basin home.
The Klamath Basin straddles Oregon and California and contains parts of five northern California counties as well as three Oregon counties. The watershed is drained by the Klamath River with its origin in Upper Klamath Lake. Five National Wildlife Refuges as well as numerous other wildlife viewing areas make our area a premier birding area at all times of the year as 80% of the Pacific Flyway migrants visit us on their annual migrations. Welcome to a birder's paradise!
