Doug and Lisa Prather will host a Bird Identification program on Zoom that anyone with the use of a computer and access to the internet can attend. This will be an extensive slide show featuring birds that are often seen on the annual count and birds that are common to Lake County. The program emphasizes the field characteristics of the common and some not-so-common birds here.

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.
We have compiled 43 years of continuous records from this granddaddy of the local counts, which began in 1976 in its current location. Centered near Keswick Dam, it stretches from Whiskeytown Lake in the West to Shasta College in the East, and from Shasta Dam in the North to Clear Creek in the South. Assignments will be given in front of the main entrance at the Redding Civic Auditorium. We will assemble at dusk at Lulu’s Eating and Drinking Establishment, 2230 Pine Street, Redding (530-243-6251) for dinner and compilation. Contact Bill Oliver (wwoliver9@gmail.com) for more information.
