Winter Wings Festival
The Klamath Basin Audubon Society (KBAS) produces the annual Winter Wings Festival to celebrate THE LARGEST WINTERING POPULATION OF BALD EAGES IN THE LOWER 48 STATES, as well as the abundance of all the birds that make the Klamath Basin their home. The Winter Wings Festival welcomes all birders and wildlife enthusiasts to hear keynote speakers, take field trips and enjoy the other activities that enhance the appreciation of the spectacular beauty of the Klamath Basin. Any surplus from the festival is used to support community outreach, wildlife, and youth education programs in the Klamath Basin.
The Festival will be celebrating its 39th year in 2018. We are one of the largest festivals in the nation that is an all-volunteer effort.
