Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Outing – CANCELLED!

By on February 24, 2020 in

Interested in meeting Shasta County’s avian migrants? Biologist, David Pluth will lead a walk through the Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant to seek both resident and migrant bird species who visit the wastewater treatment plant each year.  In total, there have been 215 species reported at the Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, making it one of the best birding locations in the county. On a good day 50 – 70 species may be seen! Some of the more uncommon species that have been observed at the plant during this time of year include long-billed curlews, black-necked stilts, black-chinned hummingbirds, yellow-headed blackbirds, and blue-winged teals to name just a few.  Come join your fellow birders for a casual and informative morning stroll.

Meet David at the entrance gate to the Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, located at 2200 Metz Rd.  (left exit off 273 to Eastside Rd, 1 mile south of Win River). David will also provide waiver forms that will allow individuals to visit the plant on their own. 

For those interested, after the walk we will have lunch at Kutras Lake.
