Klamath National Wildlife Refuge...

I had the opportunity to visit the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuges along the Oregon - California border today. The Klamath Basin area is home to the largest population of Bald Eagles in the lower 48 states during the winter months. These eagles feast on the literally millions of migrating birds that pass through this area on the Pacific Flyway each year.

Upon arriving in the area, I saw literally dozens of eagles in trees on the refuge. Unfortunately, most were too far away to successfully photograph. I was able to get closer to a couple though and managed to capture some frames.



As it got nearer to sunset, several Tundra Swans arrived providing an opportunity for some silhouette shots...



On the way back to the Ashland area, I was witness to a beautiful sunset along the Klamath River...



Take care all and Happy New Year!
