Horseshoe Lake Birds

Hi Everyone,

Even though the weather did not cooperate, we did see a nice group of birds on Thursday.

One of our group saw a White-tailed Kite across the street from Wildwood Park on the way home. I hope most of you got to see the Western Bluebirds on the fence next to the Golf Course.

I was not able to compare notes with most of you Thursday so I’m not sure my list is complete.

Here is the list of birds that were sighted Thursday:

2/8/07

Great Blue Heron

If you saw a bird not on the list, leave a comment so the rest of us can add it to our list.

Next Thursday we will be going to the Feather River Park Way in Oroville. This is always a good spot for birds. We will be meeting at the Park and Ride Lot #2 at 9:00 A.M. Thursday 2/15/07. If you want to drive over on your own some time, visit Directions to Chico Birdwatching Sites on this blog for directions and a map.
