Audubon California Working Lands Program

By Larry Jordan on October 2, 2022 in

Audubon California will update us on the Working Lands program. This work encourages bird-friendly practices on farms, wetlands and other managed lands in the Central Valley. It is done by cultivating relationships with landowners, advocating for statewide policies that secure water and habitat for birds, and engaging our grassroots network in their communities. Our work provides protection for focal species like the Long-billed Curlew, Tricolored Blackbird, and Western Grebe. The presentation will also focus on what we know, and fear, about the impact of the mega-drought on birds, especially in the critically important Pacific Flyway as it passes through the Central Valley.

Topic: Audubon California “Working Lands” Program
Time: Oct 12, 2022 07:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)

Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Outing – CANCELLED!

By Larry Jordan 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.
