Birding Basics at Turtle Bay Bird Sanctuary

We will be talking about the seasonal aspects of bird watching on this walk led by Education Chair Tricia Ford. Which birds are here only in the winter months? Which ones stay here for a short while for breeding in spring and summer? And which can we expect to see year round? Beginning birdwatchers are especially encouraged to join us in learning to identify the large variety of avian life in the area. We usually see between 30 and 36 bird species on the walk.

Meet at the Turtle Bay Redding Boat Launch, located behind the Redding Civic Auditorium (Map: https://shorturl.at/twRVX) 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. Contact Tricia Ford at triciathebirdnerd@gmail.com for more information.
