Fortunately, you don't have to travel far to find beautiful views in Klamath Falls. Our real estate agents have details on five elevated trails around Klamath Falls.

5 Ways to Attract Hummingbirds at Your Home
House-hunters looking at Klamath Falls homes for sale are often attracted by the beautiful landscaping. Colorful butterflies visit the lovely flowers that adorn the properties. But some houses attract certain entertaining guests more than others. Our real estate agents have collected a few tips to invite hummingbirds into your yard.
- Add a splash of red
Hummingbirds adore red. It is their favorite color, hands down. But they also love bright purple, orange, and pink. Trumpet-shaped flowers that hold generous portions of nectar also beckon the birds to come to partake of the sweetness. Consider Oregon Firestorm, cloudburst phlox, fuchsia, and nasturtiums to bring a riot of color to your landscaping, and the birds will follow. Many people find that adding streamers of red ribbon to bushes and trees will bring more birds.
