A Place For Serious Birders
We spent 10 days here and the first three hours after arrival we devoted to just watching the birds. The house functions as a luxurious bird hide where you can sit comfortably and watch a wide variety of species. From time to time, a mixed armada of American White Pelicans and Double-crested cormorants would swim by, fishing together in groups of 60+ birds. The cormorants dive to get the deep fish, which escape toward the surface, only to be scooped up by the pelicans. This action sends the fish back down to the realm of the cormorants. The grebes, both Western and Clark’s, flirted and danced together in that extraordinary way that only grebes can dance together. In all we saw upwards of 60 bird species and photographed a high percentage of what we saw. Mammals viewed from the living room included nutria, river otter, muskrat, mink and California ground squirrel.
This house is where the BBC photographers stayed when filming the grebe segment for the “Life of Birds” documentary narrated by Sir David Attenborough. It is situated at the south end of Klamath Lake, where the natural topography creates a fertile environment for wildlife. The location is special. It is an excellent venue for people who are serious about birding.
