If you bird in the Klamath Basin or on the Humboldt County coast of northern California, you won't want to miss out on a middle Klamath River expedition, a bird-rich river corridor conveniently located in Siskiyou County, CA on the route between these two frequented birding destinations.

Along and above the Klamath River there is an overlap of California coastal, Northwest and Great Basin species as well as the chance to see many Neotropicals. Author Bob has been observing the local birds and taking detailed notes for 30 years. You will find everything needed to plan your trip!
