As The Nest Turns: The Continuing Saga of the Redding Eagles

By on December 28, 2020 in

Bald Eagles Patriot & Liberty

Terri Lhuillier will share the continuing saga of our famous Redding Eagles as she begins her 17th Nesting Season closely monitoring the local bald eagle pair. Terri has been following “Liberty” for 17 years since the bald eagle pair first arrived & built a nest at Turtle Bay in Redding back in 2004. She has spent numerous hours observing, documenting & photographing Liberty with her 3 mates as they successfully raised 22 eaglets from egg to fledgling!

Terri will discuss how her passion for eagles has grown over the years and how now, she and her husband Dave, monitor seventeen bald eagle nests in Redding, Anderson, Palo Cedro, Red Bluff and Corning. Terri and Dave document annual nesting data for the nests which they share with several Fish and Wildlife and Whiskeytown biologists to help them monitor the local bald Eagle population.

Wintu Audubon Society is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Gray Lodge Wildlife Area Field Trip

By on December 22, 2019 in

Just north of Sutter Buttes, Gray Lodge Wildlife Area is a 9100 acre winter home for over a million waterfowl, numerous raptors, and a rich variety of riparian woodland birds. A leisurely walk through the sloughs always leads to beautiful views and a rich variety of birdlife. A longer car route is an extended option for those interested; last year we found a Loggerhead Shrike out there. The drive to the refuge often yields swans and sandhill cranes. Bring a sack lunch, dress for the weather, and come enjoy! A CDFW Lands Pass (available on site) or a California hunting or fishing license is required at this CA Fish & Wildlife site. Meet at Kutras Park at 7:30 to carpool, or at Parking Lot 14 at Gray Lodge at 9:45 (or so, if we’re delayed by birds in some of the flooded fields en route).

Local Weekday Bird Walk at Lema Ranch

By on December 22, 2019 in

Lema Ranch offers a variety of habitats, from ponds to open fields, to woodlands attracting many species of birds. In February, the winter ducks (sometimes including the exquisite Hooded Merganser) and winter sparrows will still be lingering and the earliest spring migrants may have begun to appear, such as Tree Swallow. A specialty of the park is Common Gallinule. Larry Jordan’s bluebird trail produces (sometimes numerous) Western Bluebirds. Various raptor species are possible such as American Kestrel, Red-tailed Hawk and Merlin. Please join trip leader Sally NeSmith in the parking lot reached from Shasta View to Hemingway at 8:00 am for an interesting mid-week bird walk.

Second Saturday Bird Walk at Mary Lake

By on December 22, 2019 in

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.
