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.
Bald eagles migrate from nesting areas to winter here in the Klamath Basin. They can be found foraging near waterfowl use areas such as Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge and agricultural areas in the Lower Basin.

Read MoreOSP Investigates Wolf Killed by Elk Hunter in Self Defense
/
On October 27, 2017 at about 11:30AM, an OSP Fish and Wildlife Trooper and an Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Biologist responded to the report of an elk hunter, who had self-reported shooting a wolf in Union County. The two responded to the hunter's camp in the Starkey Wildlife Management Unit.
The hunter, a 38-year-old male, from Clackamas, told the trooper he had been hunting elk alone, when he repeatedly noticed some type of animal moving around him. A short time later, the hunter observed three of what he assumed would be coyotes. He said at one point one of them began to run directly at him, while another made its way around him.
