Fall River Christmas Bird Count
Participants will meet at the Fall River Hotel in Fall River Mills for a no-host 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, dinner and compilation will be in Redding at a time time and location TBA. Please RSVP to Bob & Carol Yutzy (boby@c-zone.net) if you hope/plan to participate. Also, let them know if you want breakfast at the hotel so they can give the hotel an estimated number of folks for breakfast.

Wintu Audubon presents Randy Bush and Bill Oliver discussing real population trends gleaned from 43 years of count data. The Redding Christmas Bird Count has run continuously since 1975, the same year our Wintu Chapter of the National Audubon Society was formed. Randy Bush, Math Instructor at Shasta College, and Bill Oliver, Compiler for the Redding Count, have discovered real changes in the wintering populations from what seemed, at first, to be meaningless ups and downs.
