In an increasingly divided world, GivingTuesday represents a new global ritual based in joy and hope, proving that acts of kindness and goodwill can transcend country, race, religion and political ideals, and create connections between people.
GivingTuesday, taking place December 3rd, is a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage giving and to celebrate generosity worldwide. Every year, on GivingTuesday, millions of people across the globe mobilize to show up, give back, and change their communities. The goal is to create a massive wave of generosity that lasts well beyond that day, and touches every person on the planet.

We all get to see our North American birds. Some of us slip down to South America, and few make it over to Europe or Africa. But rarely do we see the birds of Asia! Andrea Claassen, now working for the Western Shasta Resource Conservation District, will share the birds of Cambodia with us. Come join us for this view of the other side of the world.
Meet trip leader Sally NeSmith, 831-535-2888, at the Carl & Leah McConnell gate at 8 am. From North Market Street, turn onto Arboretum Drive and veer right into the parking lot. This large natural area is accessible by a paved trail. Habitats include views of the Sacramento River, oak woodlands and open grassland. We will see Common Merganser, White-breasted Nuthatch, Red-shouldered Hawk, Spotted and California Towhees, Western Bluebird, and returning winter resident White-crowned and Golden-crowned Sparrows. As always, unusual species are probable.
Our youth/beginner bird walks are conducted at Turtle Bay on the first Saturday of every month throughout the year. Wintu Audubon can provide binoculars and field guides.
