This interesting area is a great winter spot for Bald Eagles, raptors and waterfowl. Occasionally we have found rarities such as Northern Shrike, Bohemian Waxwing, and Trumpeter Swan. Bring binoculars, scopes, field guides, lunches, water, and very warm clothes.

We will be staying at the Days Inn in Klamath Falls, Oregon. There are 6 deluxe, double queen, non-smoking rooms being held for RROS, for Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Phone number for making reservations is (541) 882-8864. They will put a room in your name. We will meet in the hotel parking lot each morning (Saturday, Sunday & Monday.) Meet at 8:00 a.m. Saturday to go out for the day. If the weather is good, we may get up extra early one morning to see the Bald Eagle flyout at dawn and then return to the hotel before going out for the day. There is continental breakfast at the hotel 6am-8am. Denny’s is open 24 hrs down the block. Bring food for lunches in the field. We will plan to have dinners at restaurants in Klamath Falls.

We will visit the new Ellis Creek water treatment ponds and Schollenberger Park. Other locations will be chosen as time allows. This should be a great trip for water birds and shorebirds. Bring optics, field guides, water, food, layered clothes, hat, gloves. Meet 8a.m. at the Ellis Creek parking area at the end of Cypress (past PRBO and UPS) in Petaluma. Heavy rain cancels.
