We are returning to Mary Lake after a very successful visit last May. A paved trail circles this small lake in a west Redding subdivision. Lakeside vegetation, a small marsh and oak woodland have created a varied habitat for birds. On our May visit we saw Phainopeplas, Green Herons up close, and heard California Thrashers. Meet at the south parking lot of the Redding Civic Auditorium to carpool. Bill Oliver will lead.

2nd Saturday Bird Walk at Turtle Bay
We will return to Turtle Bay and Kutras Lake for the fall and winter seasons. A great cross-section of raptors, waterfowl, gulls, and winter resident passerines can be seen close up with usually a surprise or to on this ½-day walk. We will assemble in the parking area behind the monolith at Turtle Bay. This walk with Connie Word is open to the public and all birding skill levels are welcome.
