Red-winged Blackbird Male

We are again scheduling a visit to the ponds targeting wintering waterfowl and early migrating shorebirds. We hope that the winter rains have provided abundant open water and muddy shorelines for these species. Assemble at the Treatment Plant’s Administration Building at the end of Metz Road at 7:30 am to meet your leader, Larry Jordan. This is a 1/2-day trip that may end in the early afternoon if the birding is good. Directions to the Clear Creek Plant: Take Hwy 273 south from Redding and look for River Ranch Road after crossing Clear Creek. Cross over the Railroad tracks and turn left on Eastside Rd. Entrance is on Metz Road on the right. Contact webmaster@wintuaudubon.com for more information.
