Yellow Warbler

Location of where we will meet: Parking area southeast of Kiddyland to the far right near the picnic area.

Walking distance estimated at 2.5-3 miles (4-5 km)

Welcome back to Shasta Birding Society’s 2024-25 Season and active calendar of events. Grab your favorite optics and come join us for this no fee event.

This first Saturday in September we are kicking off the season with a bird walk of Anderson River Park. This 440-acre recreational facilities managed by the City of Anderson has a vast network of trails and diverse riparian habitat. On trail conditions you should expect fairly level areas for walking variation of paved, dirt, and gravel surfaces. At times we might be sharing the trail with runners, bicyclists, pet walkers, and in specific areas horseback riders.

All these trails will offer scenery of the Sacramento River, various ponds, open fields, and heavily wooded areas of natural flora with a mix of evasive plant species as well.

It is recommend that you bring comfortable footwear, plenty of water, snacks, and insect repellant.

Join Wintu Audubon Society for a walk on a mile of the Sacramento River Trail through the Turtle Bay Bird Sanctuary. Spring migration, the theme for this month’s walk, will be revving up as swallows, warblers, and orioles begin to stream northward to their breeding grounds. We will search the trees for their brilliant yellows and oranges. Meet at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 6, in front of Branch House Riverfront Bistro near the main entrance to Turtle Bay Museum. We will spend two to three hours walking slightly over one mile of paved trail. Bathrooms can be accessed at Turtle Bay Museum. Contact trip leader Tricia Ford at triciathebirdnerd@gmail.com for more information.

Due to the rainout two weeks ago for the John Reginato River Access Trail bird walk, I am adding a trip there this Saturday, April 30th at 7:30am to look for migrating warblers! Here are a few of the birds we hope to see, as well as the usual Sacramento River species: Yellow Warbler, Wilson’s Warbler, Pacific-slope Flycatcher, Willow Flycatcher, Nashville Warbler, and Black-throated Gray Warbler. Meet your trip leader, Larry Jordan, in the parking lot near the boat launch – John Reginato River Access at 3855 South Bonnyview Road at 7:30 sharp. If we’re lucky, we might even get a glimpse at a Barn Owl!
