Klamath Basin Winter Wings Festival
The premier winter birding event here in the Northwest is the Klamath Basin Oregon Winter Wings Festival in Klamath Falls, Oregon Feb 16 to 19th. The Klamath Basin lies on the Pacific Flyway and is the winter home for over 100 species of birds. You can see migrating flocks of 1000's of birds and many wintering raptors. For 25 years the festival was known as the Bald Eagle Conference, just lately being renamed the winter Wings festival. There are more wintering Bald Eagles here than any where else in the United States outside of Alaska! In addition to winter birding opportunities the festival includes a Volcanic Legacy Scenic tour, the Klamath Tribes Culture and Heritage Department storytelling and a wildlife art show. More information at www.winterwingsfest.org 1-800-445-6728. If you can not attend that weekend anytime of the month is a wonderfultime for an amazing winter birding experience at the Klamath Basin area.
