Join trip leader David Garza at 7am at the bulletin board at the corner of Mary Lake Drive and Lakeside Drive for a three hour walk around Mary Lake. Wood Ducks are always expected as well as a variety of other waterfowl, herons, egrets, songbirds and most likely warblers.
“Warblers and Wood Ducks” is the theme of the bird walk at this gem of a park in west Redding. Meet on Thursday, March 9, at 9:00 at the bulletin board at the corner of Lakeside Drive and Mary Lake Drive. We will spend about an hour and a half walking one mile on a cement path. There are no bathrooms. This is the sixth in a series of eight walks, one per month from October through May, exploring City of Redding parks and trails for opportunities to see birds. If it is raining at the site at the start time of the walk, the event will be canceled. Contact triciathebirdnerd@gmail.com for more information.
Warblers and Wood Ducks are some of the usual suspects at this gem of a park in west Redding. Green and Great Blue Herons, Wilson’s Snipe and an array of sparrows add to the cast of characters. Meet at 8:00 at the bulletin board at the corner of Lakeside Drive and Mary Lake Drive. We will spend about an hour and a half walking one mile on a cement path. There are no bathrooms. Contact trip leader Tricia Ford at triciathebirdnerd@gmail.com for more information.
Mary Lake is a delightful neighborhood lake in West Redding. Meet trip leader Sally NeSmith (831-535-2888) at trail head on Lakeside Drive (right past Ridge Drive). Waterfowl are always present, with raptors, herons, egrets, and early migrants. Part of the walk was burned during the Carr Fire, so it will be interesting to see which birds are around now.
