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. After the count, compilation will be held at Round Table Pizza on Lake Blvd. behind MacDonald’s Restaurant in Redding. The room at Round Table Pizza is reserved for us from 5:30pm to 8:30pm. 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 folks for breakfast.

For a biologist and a photographer it was, David says, “definitely a bucket list trip.” He will be sharing his crisp wildlife images from the trip including a few of the 140 life birds they recorded. Come learn of the African wildlife!
