Klamath, Lake and Modoc Country is one of America's richest havens for wildlife, where seven national wildlife refuges, three state wildlife areas and thousands of acres of private farmlands provide habitat for a rich variety of waterfowl, wading birds, songbirds, raptors, big game, small mammals and aquatic life.

Take an early morning drive on an all auto tour route through Lower Klamath or Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuges, and listen to the raucous sounds of millions of birds feeding, building nests, or perhaps gaining strength during a rest on their migration. An estimated 80 percent of the strength during a rest of their migration. An estimated 80 percent of the waterfowl in the Pacific flyway pay a visit to the Klamath Basin sometime during the year. The Klamath Basin Refuges are a fee demo program. 100% of the fees go back into the refuges.

Bald eagles gather by the hundreds in the Klamath Basin each winter. Klamath Falls hosts an annual Bald Eagle Conference in February, providing a forum for professional wildlife managers and serious bird enthusiasts. Forested lands north and west of Klamath Falls produce one of Oregon's most productive eagle nesting areas.

Pronghorn, mule deer and elk are all present in Klamath, Lake and Modoc Country, though elk and pronghorn are usually harder to find than birds.
