John Reginato River Access Trail

By on April 7, 2022 in

Nashville Warbler

Join us to look and listen for spring warblers in the big oaks along this Sacramento River trail.  If we’re lucky, we might also see the resident pair of Peregrine Falcons or Barn Owl.

Meet at the parking lot near the boat launch at the John Reginato River Access at 3855 South Bonnyview Road.  This area is also known as the South Bonnyview boat ramp.  We will spend about two hours walking less than two miles on a rocky path with river cobblestones.  Hiking boots are recommended.  There are rest rooms at the boat ramp.

Contact trip leader Tricia Ford at triciathebirdnerd@gmail.com for more information.

Dye Creek Preserve Outing

By on February 10, 2022 in

Located in the foothills below Mount Lassen, the 37,540-acre Gray Davis Dye Creek Preserve is an expansive landscape of blue oak woodlands, volcanic buttes, and rolling wildflower fields. The landscape is dissected dramatically by Dye Creek Canyon with its vertical cliffs, clear-water creek, and diverse riparian forests. The forest widens as it leaves the canyon mouth and flows westward, through wetlands, to its confluence with the Sacramento River. Join Larry Jordan, trip leader, for a hike up Dye Creek Canyon. Golden Eagles, Peregrine Falcons and Canyon Wrens are a possibility. Wild flowers should be abundant. The three mile trail is rough so be prepared. Bring water, a lunch, and sturdy shoes for this all day outing. Meet at 7:30 sharp at the Kutras Park on Park Marina Drive to caravan and bring a lunch for this full-day trip. We will bird along Foothill Road on the way with each vehicle having a walkie-talkie to communicate birds seen.

*Participants are required to have proof of full COVID-19 vaccination and sign a Wintu Audubon waiver as well as the Nature Conservancy waiver.

Birds of Northern California

By on September 5, 2021 in
Bald Eagle

Bald Eagle Screaming

Our webmaster, Larry Jordan, will be offering “The Birds of Northern California” as our September presentation. Larry was monitoring nest boxes back in 2008 when he joined the Wintu Audubon Society. He also joined the California Bluebird Recovery Program as the Shasta County Coordinator around the same time. With the help of our Audubon members, and others, we now monitor over 70 nest boxes in Shasta County!

Larry actually became interested in birds back in 2007 and started his blog – “The Birders Report.” When he started the blog he had no way to take photos for his postings so he tracked down some of the best bird photogs he could find and asked for permission to use their photos. By the summer of 2008 he was taking his own photos for the blog. This presentation is basically a slide show of over 300 of his photos. We will be discussing bird identification and any other birding topics that come up with audience participation.
