Shasta Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation

By on February 26, 2024 in

Shasta Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation employees and volunteers will be introducing a menagerie of education animals to us via Zoom for our March meeting. Depending on each animal’s amenability during our time frame, we may be seeing both birds and reptiles: a crow, kestrel, turtle, and a rosy boa may appear. Learn the fascinating natural history of each animal, how they came into care, and the amazing work of our local wild animal rescue group.
Raven Capozzo is the general manager of Shasta Wildlife and will emcee the program. When she was fifteen years old she began volunteering at Sulphur Creek Nature Center in Hayward and was eventually hired there as a naturalist. When she moved to the Redding area, she rescued a Turkey Vulture on her property and brought it to Shasta Wildlife where the staff were surprised that she knew how to avoid the inevitable puking of the bird during its capture and exam. She was hired and soon became general manager in 2019.

Shasta Birding Society is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Topic: March Presentation from Shasta Wildlife Refuge
Time: Mar 13, 2024 07:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)

Iron Canyon Outing

By on January 29, 2024 in

Peregrine Falcon

Join us for a 3.5-mile easy birding hike at the Iron Canyon trail on the Sacramento River Bend in northern Tehama County. The trail is on the Tuscan Formation, a vast and ancient volcanic flow that carried volcanic rocks and boulders from the Cascade Mountains down toward the northeastern part of the Central Valley. Due to the mixture of rocky grasslands, oak and juniper woodlands, and high canyon cliffs overlooking the Sacramento Valley and the surrounding mountain ranges, the landscape is home to a
fascinating array of birds. We may expect to see any or all of 4 falcon species: Peregrine Falcon, Prairie Falcon, Merlin, and American Kestrel. Other species likely to be encountered are Lewis’s and Acorn Woodpecker, Western Meadowlark, Horned Lark, Rock Wren, American Pipit, Western or Mountain Bluebird, Bald or Golden Eagle. Stay a bit longer after the hike, and we will bird at Hog Lake for waterfowl, just a 2-minute drive up the road.
Meet at the Iron Canyon trailhead at 7:15 am. The hike is easy but due to the rocky terrain, please wear sturdy hiking shoes.

Directions from Red Bluff: From Highway 99, take Highway 36 East toward Susanville/Lassen Volcanic National Park. Continue for 5.2 miles until you reach the gravel parking lot on the left.
