Limit: 15 participants
AltaCal Bird Alliance and Shasta Birding Society have enjoyed birding in Lassen Volcanic National Park for several years. We will be doing it again and welcome other chapters to join us and camp at the Lost Creek Group Campground site #5 reserved for the nights of Tuesday, June 17th, and Wednesday, June 18th.
Species that you might see or hear include Osprey, Pileated Woodpecker, White-headed Woodpecker, Black-backed Woodpecker, Williamson’s Sapsucker, Vaux’s Swift, Common Nighthawk, Bufflehead, Canada Jay, Brown Creeper, Yellow Warbler, Western Tanager, and Cassin’s Finch, among others. We will visit the birding hot spots at Manzanita Lake, Hat Creek, Summit Peak, and Kings Creek; the remainder of our itinerary will be flexible, tailored to the interests of participants. Please note that due to lingering snow, some trails may be inaccessible.
Lost Creek Group Campground has primitive facilities, pit toilets, and potable water is available. Tuesday and Wednesday nights are potlucks. Please bring something to share. You are responsible for your breakfast and lunches. Bring camp gear, a tent, water bottles, bug spray, sunscreen, a camp chair, sturdy hiking shoes/boots, dress in layers, and prepare for cold weather. Bring firewood if you have some. We can collect wood in the forest too. To register for this camp out and have a spot to stay over at the park, click on the Zeff link https://www.zeffy.com/
