Winter Wings Festival

By on January 4, 2018 in

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.

Wintu Audubon Outing to 
Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge

By on December 28, 2017 in

The Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge is a national gem, well worth the short, 90 mile drive to Willows. Enormous numbers of waterfowl fill the sky and the impoundments in fall and winter. Snow, Ross’s and Greater White-fronted Geese, Northern Pintails, Northern Shovelers and Gadwalls are assured. Possibilities are White-faced Ibis, Green-winged and Cinnamon Teal, Black-necked Stilts and various raptors. Most of the birding is done from cars. We will provide 2-way radios to report sightings and alert people in other cars to look for them. Meet your leader at Kutras Park on Park Marina Drive to carpool and bring a lunch for this full-day trip. For more information call Larry Jordan @ 949-5266
