Summer Lake Wildlife Area

The Summer Lake Wildlife Area is a great birding area in south central Oregon.  The area is managed primarily for migratory waterfowl that move up and down the Pacific Flyway.  Camping is allowed in designated locations among the ponds and dikes.  The wildlife provide abundant ‘jungle’ noises at night.  This is a terrific place to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.  Come prepared to deal with voracious mosquitoes during the warmer spring and summer months.

There are great landscape and wildlife photo ops here.  A tripod and split ND filter are a must.  Bring all the glass you own to provide as many shooting options as possible.
