Even though the fall migration is largely over, great opportunities still exist for other species which will spend the winter in the Klamath Basin. Many raptors can be found around agricultural areas including bald and golden eagles, red-tailed hawks, and rough-legged hawks.
The Link River trail below Upper Klamath Lake is an excellent place to view many species of wildlife including deer, river otter, muskrat, buffleheads, goldeneye, great-blue heron, and great egret.
