Our youth/beginner bird walks are conducted at Turtle Bay on the first Saturday of the month throughout the year. February is especially birdy at Turtle Bay with all the wintering waterfowl. Wintu Audubon can provide binoculars and field guides. Call Dan Greaney, 276-9693, with questions or for more information. Please remember that we now assemble at the Venture Properties parking lot. Take the first left before the Redding Civic Auditorium.

Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Outing
This nationally known gem is well worth the 90-mile drive. Enormous numbers of waterfowl fill the sky and numerous impoundments in fall and winter. Snow, Ross’ and Greater White-fronted Geese, Northern Pintails, Northern Shovelers and Gadwalls are assured. Possibilities are White-faced Ibis, Green-winged Teal, Black-necked Stilts and various raptors. We hope to provide 2 way radios to report sightings and alert people in other cars to look for them. Most of the birding is done from cars. Meet at the Redding Convention Center to carpool. Bring a lunch for this full day trip. Bill Oliver will lead.
