Wintu Audubon Presents Birding Colombia
Colombia is a country of over 49 million people, most of whom live at very high elevations. Over 2,000 species of birds have been recorded there, 87 of which are endemic to that country. Harvey and Jeannette Carroll traveled to Colombia in January 2017 and enjoyed seeing over 500 species of birds. Twenty-seven of them were endemics. The geography, people and flora and fauna of Colombia are fascinating. The Carrolls will present a cross-section of the beautiful birds they encountered plus a discussion of the country itself.

Fall River Christmas Bird Count
Participants will meet at the Fall River Hotel in Fall River Mills for a family-style breakfast and assignments. From Redding, take Hwy. 299E for approximately 75 miles. After crossing the Fall River, take the second right and look for the hotel on the right. Every year, some birders spend the night at this quaint hotel (Phone: 530-336-5550) and avoid the early morning drive. Eastern Shasta County birders are especially invited to participate. Dinner and compilation will be in Redding at a time and location to be announced. Please RSVP to Bob & Carol Yutzy boby@c-zone.net if you hope/plan to participate and let them know if you want breakfast at the hotel so we can give them an estimated number of folk for breakfast.
