Birding Basics at Turtle Bay Bird Sanctuary

SEE NEW TIME AND DATE ON JANUARY 18TH AT 9:30

Join us for a new series of second Thursday bird walks with Tricia Ford of the Shasta Birding Society. Every walk will feature a discussion of a birding skill and/or a hot topic in the world of birding. Beginning birdwatchers are especially encouraged to join us in learning to identify the large variety of avian life in the area. The January 11th walk will discuss the controversy surrounding how birds were named and the current effort to change many of the old names. This walk will meet each month at the kiosk near the entrance of the Sundial Bridge across from the Branch House Bistro at 8:30 am for a leisurely two-hour stroll along the Sacramento River Trail in the area designated as a bird sanctuary. The paved trail is accessible, and bathrooms can be found outside Turtle Bay Exploration Park. 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.
