My 9-year-old daughter and I arrived Saturday night and had dinner at one of the town&#8217;s fanciest restaurant, Bel Tramonto. Their gnocci was excellent, as was the eggplant lasagne. I don&#8217;t recommend the lobster ravioli, though, and I thought the chef had a bit too much penchant for fontina cheese. Tuscan style food with fontina? See what I mean?<\/p>\n<p>The next day, Sunday, we spent from sun up to sun down on Sunday <a href=\"http:\/\/www.klamathbirdingtrails.com\/\">birding<\/a>\u2014the Klamath Basin is the best place in the state to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fws.gov\/klamathbasinrefuges\/eagle.html\">see bald eagles<\/a>. The bald eagles come to Klamath Falls in the winter, from November through March. They feast on the abundant waterfowl in the area.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Y5SE5UHEOJDA7C2BBAUITL6FFQ\" class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\">&#8220;If we don&#8217;t see coyotes in that field, it means we ain&#8217;t looking,&#8221; Charlotte Ann Kisling said to us as we bumped along in her pickup truck, It was early morning and bitter cold at the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge.<\/p>\n<p id=\"N6R77JM5ARGZDCSYV3DJWX6ES4\" class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\">Coyotes? We were there looking for bald eagles!<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\">I had no idea that in addition to those majestic birds of prey we&#8217;d spy all sorts of wildlife that I&#8217;d never seen outside of a zoo. But bird aficionados and lay people like me, who don&#8217;t know the difference between a sparrow and a starling, come from all over the world to Klamath Falls, Oregon, to the Klamath Basin in winter to view bald eagles and other wild animals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\">Though February is the best time to see them, there are so many bald eagles here that you won&#8217;t leave disappointed if you visit during any of the winter months. And while you&#8217;re in Southern Oregon in the wintertime, don&#8217;t miss <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jennifermargulis.net\/snowshoeing-at-crater-lake\/\">snowshoeing at Crater Lake<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Getting back from Klamath Falls was harrowing and I had to buy chains before we left town. We had breakfast at Nibbley&#8217;s, renowned for its oat toast. My daughter had peach waffles and I had scrambled eggs with artichokes, spinach, and cheese (not fontina!). The drive back was awful but the toast was delicious.<\/p>\n<p>ETA: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregonlive.com\/travel\/2009\/01\/raptors_over_klamath_refuge.html\">Here&#8217;s my article<\/a> about bald eagle viewing that I wrote for the <em>Oregonian<\/em>, which is what brought us to Klamath Falls, Oregon.<\/p>\n<p>Published: December 16, 2008<br \/>\nUpdated: January 20, 2020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent the weekend in Klamath Falls, Oregon.
