Birding at Bear Valley National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon
The Bear Valley National Wildlife Refuge is located in the southwestern part of Klamath County, Oregon, near the California border. Bald Eagles congregate by the hundreds in the Klamath Basin during the late winter months (January and February). Wintering eagles roost in nearby wooded areas, including a night roost on Bear Valley National Wildlife Refuge and feed on rodents and waterfowl on Lower Klamath Refuge and surrounding areas. As the marshes freeze, clustering ducks in small potholes of open water, the ducks become easy prey for eagles.
It was established in 1978 to protect the nesting areas of Bald Eagles. The refuge is part of the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge Complex and has a total area of 4,200 acres (1,700 ha) It is administered along with the other refuges in the complex from offices in Tulelake, California.
