We have enjoyed the birding and camping at the Lost Creek Group Campground over the years, so we are scheduling this event again this year. Group Camp Site #5 has been reserved for the nights of Friday, June 24 and Saturday, June 25. This year the park road should be free of snow by late June and it should be ideal for observing nesting birds. We are again inviting the Redwood Region Audubon Society and Altacal Audubon Society to join us. Folks can either camp at Lost Creek or drive up for either or both Saturday and Sunday. Campers can arrive at the campsite at a time of their choosing on Friday afternoon. Saturday daytrippers should meet at the Redding Civic Auditorium (Convention Center) at 8:00 am Saturday morning to car pool. We will bird Manzanita Lake and vicinity on Saturday morning. The rest of the itinerary is open and will depend on the interests of the participants. Daytrippers for Sunday, June 28, will meet at the campsite at 9:00 am. Lost Creek has primitive facilities; pit toilets and no electricity. Potable water is available. Contact Bill Oliver (Ph. 941-7741 or email wwoliver9 AT gmail DOT com for other particulars.

The Day of the Woodpecker
There are eleven species of woodpeckers found in Yosemite—more than anywhere in the U.S. Here is your chance to spend a day with an expert naturalist not just watching these industrious birds, but learning about their diverse habitats and habits.
December is a particularly great time for spotting the woodpeckers in Yosemite, with less foliage on trees and without the distraction of summer breeding birds.
