Southern Oregon is home to a tremendous cache of natural treasures: the nation’s deepest lake, in the caldera of an ancient volcano; fertile valleys for world-class winemaking; and wildlife refuges on the Pacific Flyway that are home to thousands of pelicans, herons, bald eagles, osprey and other fowl as they nest or fish in the wetlands during their winter migration.
