Second Saturday Bird Walk at Clover Creek Preserve
Clover Creek Preserve has a large, permanent pond with surrounding cattails and reed marsh, shallow winter pools and uplands planted to oaks. Plan to see shorebirds as well as species rare to urban areas such as Western Meadowlark, Western Bluebird, and Say’s Phoebe. The Great-tailed Grackle has expanded its range northward to include Shasta County and inhabits the cattail marsh. Meet your trip leader at the preserve near the south end of Shasta View Drive for this ½-day trip.
