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.

Discover Birding at Turtle Bay
Our youth/beginner bird walks are conducted on the first Saturday throughout the year. Wintu Audubon can provide binoculars and field guides.

Local Weekday Bird Walk at Lema Ranch
Lema Ranch, an oasis of open space in Redding, is excellent year-around birding. The ponds, orchards, and fields of the McConnell Foundation Headquarters provide an abundance of bird species. We will look for Common Gallinules, Marsh Wrens, Great-tailed Grackles, Lark Sparrows and other Lema Ranch specialties. This will be a 2-3 hour walk on paved trails with fine public restrooms. Meet our leader, Linda Aldrich, at the north parking lot off Hemingway Street. Hemingway Street is across from Mountain View school on Shasta View Drive.
Second Saturday Bird Walk at Clear Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant
We visit along this stretch of the Sacramento River and its riparian forest, as well as several ponds holding tertiary-treated water. Winter resident passerines and water foul should be abundant. Assemble at the Treatment Plant’s Administration Building at the end of Metz Road at 8:00 am to meet your leader, Matt Gould. This is a ½-day trip that may end in the early afternoon if the birding is good.
Take Hwy. 273 and look for River Ranch Road after crossing Clear Creek. Cross over the Railroad tracks and turn left on Eastside Road. The entrance on Metz Road is on the right.
