About Us
Bear Valley is one of the most heavily used bald eagle wintering sites in the lower 48 states. Wintering eagles are attracted to the area by the large populations of waterfowl that stage nearby on Lower Klamath and Tule Lake National wildlife Refuges. Bear Valley is one of the few areas in the Klamath Basin that contains suitable roost trees which are in close proximity to food sources.
