Wintu Audubon Annual Picnic
Join us at the last general meeting before our summer hiatus at a bring-your-own picnic at the Camden House (Tower House) at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. We will enjoy good birding and fellowship in this lovely setting. The parking lot for the Camden House is on the left side of Hwy. 299W just before the turnoff to French Gulch. Park passes are required, so some members may wish to carpool with others who have a seasonal or permanent pass by assembling at Prestige Urgent Care at Eureka Way (Hwy 299W) & Buenaventura in Redding at 5:30 pm. Questions? Contact Dan Greaney, 276-9693.
Second Saturday Bird Walk at Battle Creek
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has restored riparian habitat and maintains trails along Battle Creek including connecting trails through a marsh to the Coleman National Fish Hatchery. Bald Eagles, other raptors, marsh dwellers (both Sora and Virginia Rails), and early summer resident passerines are usually seen or heard during this 1/2-day trip. Wear sturdy shoes. Trails are groomed but ground is uneven. Meet Steve Royce, kkona3@yahoo.com, at the parking lot at Battle Creek Wildlife Area, reached by taking Hwy I5 or Hwy 273 south to Anderson, turning off at the Outlet Mall and following the signs east to Coleman Fish Hatchery.
