Mary and Bill Pohll run Thompson's B&B and they really look after you well. If you are interested in birdwatching, for which the Klamath Basin is famous, then this is where you want to stay. This isnt just any hotel--it is perfectly situated for birding. I stayed here in March 2010 for a trip to the Klamath Basin to see Bald Eagles and Waterfowl. I visited in April 2009 also and the birding highlight was being able to take close photos of the Western Grebes displaying. The bird feeders at breakfast in March typically have Steller's Jay, Western Scrub-Jay, Dark-eyed Junco, House & Cassin's Finches, Lesser Goldfinch, Pine Siskin, Mountain Chickadee, California Quail, and Black-tailed Deer. Sometimes Mountain Quail, Oak Titmouse, and Evening Grosbeak come to the feeders, among other birds. Mary can show you where the Bald Eagle sometimes sits on the standing dead tree 150 yards from the house. On any day in March there are sure to be Bald Eagles flying by, along with lots of geese and swans going to Upper Klamath Lake. If you come in April, Mary can tell you the best places to go to see the Western and Clark's grebes doing their spectacular rushing-on-the-water dance. The house backs up to 500 Acre Moore Park, which is worth a 2+ hour walk in the morning, and we saw Bewick's Wren, Bushtit, Oak Titmouse, Pygmy Nuthatch, and Golden-crowned Sparrow on a March 2010 morning. The rooms are all very nice and two of them have views of Upper Klamath Lake. From the upstairs Breakfast area, you will be able to see the best view in Klamath Falls--looking north, one sees Upper Klamath Lake, Buck Island, and the snowy rim of Crater Lake National Park in the distance.
