Some of My Favorite Bird Photos

By on November 29, 2024 in

Join us for an evening of bird photography from your webmaster, Larry Jordan. Larry joined the Wintu Audubon Society as its webmaster back in May 2008. At the time he had been posting on his own blog, The Birders Report, for about a year, using photos from other photographers (with their permission, of course). Over the years he has created quite a collection of bird photos, several (such as the photo above) taken from the photo blinds available at the Colusa, Delevan, and Sacramento National Wildlife Refuges. Of course several of his photos are taken during our many outings throughout the year as well.

Shasta Birding Society is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Topic: Some of My Favorite Bird Photos
Time: Dec 11, 2024 07:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)
