Birding Basics at Turtle Bay Bird Sanctuary

The miracle of spring migration is beginning! We will discover which birds have left their winter homes and returned to our area to raise their young. Or are they just passing through Redding on their way to their breeding grounds further north? Find out by joining us on this series of walks geared toward beginning birdwatchers, but all skill levels are welcome to share in the fun. We usually see between 30 and 36 bird species around the Sundial Bridge. Meet at the Turtle Bay Redding Boat Launch, located behind the Redding Civic Auditorium for a leisurely two-hour stroll on accessible paved and gravel trails along the Sacramento River. Bathrooms can be found at several locations along the way. Binoculars are available to borrow, and instructions will be provided for their use. Rain will cancel.
