2017 North State Christmas Bird Counts show big shifts in numbers, species.
Locally, bird watchers conduct four counts. The oldest, the Redding Count, was begun in 1975. It extends from Shasta College through most of Whiskeytown Lake, and from Shasta Dam down to South Bonnyview Road. Up the road, the Fall River Count was established in 1984, and is always popular as a location where valley, mountain and Great Basin species can be found in its open fields and abundant waterways. South of Redding, the Anderson and Red Bluff counts abut each other where the temperate Central Valley provides winter homes to numerous songbirds and waterfowl.
