Clover Creek Preserve

What birds of prey will surprise us at Clover Creek Preserve? Merlin or American Kestrel? Red-tailed or Red-shouldered Hawk? Northern Harrier or White-tailed Kite? Sharp-shinned or Cooper’s Hawk? The theme for this month’s adventure in our city parks is “Redding’s Raptors.” This will be the fourth in a series of eight walks, one per month from October through May. Join Wintu Audubon Society at the preserve on Thursday, January 12th, at 9:00 am to find out which birds of prey are common in our area. Clover Creek Preserve is a 128-acre open space in east Redding that features grasslands, blue oaks, and a 6.7 acre lake. Meet at the preserve, 3705 Shasta View Drive, at the main parking lot. We will spend about two hours walking less than two miles on a paved trail. There is a port-a-potty located in the parking lot and a full restroom at the nearby Shasta Trinity Fly Fishers Club.
