Second Saturday Bird Walk

By on September 30, 2025 in

Always wanted to learn more about birds but not sure where to start? Join Shasta Birding Society for a family and beginner friendly bird walk at the benches by the Sundial bridge at 9 am and discover the hidden world of birds all around us! We will start birding across the iconic Sundial Bridge and continue inside the botanical garden. The trail is wheelchair accessible and benches are found throughout. The walk will last about 1 hour. Binoculars are provided. Join our trip leader, David Garza and other local birders, as we take a leisurely one mile walk though one of Redding’s best birding hotspots. This walk will begin at the south end of the Sundial Bridge and take us north, across the Sacramento River to view waterfowl, woodpeckers, raptors, sparrows, and more. From the bridge there are excellent views of the river and surrounding mountains. On the other side of the river, and throughout the botanical garden, we will be able to find several species of songbirds. Raptors are common in the area, including the Bald Eagle and Osprey. Early autumn is a great time of year to find migrating birds passing thought the area, before they head further south. Park in the Turtle Bay Parking Lot. Rain cancels. Want more information?

Live Bird Presentation at Turtle Bay

By on May 3, 2025 in

Barred Owl

Sharon Clay has been the Curator of Animal Programs at Turtle Bay for over fifteen years. During that time she has assembled an incredible showcase of animals that are unable to be released back into the wild. These include several species of birds ranging from the Golden Eagle, Turkey Vulture and Barn Owl to the Yellow-billed Magpie and her long time friend Kinta, the Laughing Kookaburra. Sharon has graciously given us the opportunity to visit her at “The Mill Building” in Turtle Bay to meet these amazing birds, learn all about them and experience them close up, some as they fly across the room! This will be an in-person presentation that you won’t want to miss. Watching it later on YouTube just won’t be the same. This event is free. A donation box will be available. Please consider a donation for this special event!
Park at the monolith adjacent to the Sheraton Hotel at Turtle Bay no later than 6:45 pm to access the gate to enter the park for this 7pm meeting. We will direct you to the Mill Building.
