What are the best places to see and hear owls in the Klamath Basin?
Eleven owl species regularly occur in the Klamath Basin with Barn and Great Horned Owls by far the most common and widespread. Good areas to hear or see these two species are in the cliffs behind the Visitor Center on Tule Lake Refuge, along the east side of Sheepy Ridge (south of the Visitor Center) and in the Petroglyphs area of Lava Beds National Monument. Great Gray Owls are known to nest in wet meadows (particularly those with resident rodent populations) in the northern portion of the Klamath Basin.
