Pelican Bay Birds of the Basin |
| The Upper Klamath Basin, surrounding the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway, is the home for many bird species. From this vantage point, overlooking the Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge and Pelican Bay, you can see a variety of bird habitats. Eduardo Olmedo, of the Winema National Forest, compiled a great checklist of bird species. You can pick one up at National Forest Offices in Klamath Falls. Here we offer you our on-line version of Eddie's checklist of over 250 birds that have been seen in the Upper Klamath Basin. To have the colors show up when you print the list, be sure your browser is set to "Print Backgrounds." |  |
