Guided bird watching on South Shore
Washoe Meadows Community is hosting a bird watching event June 29 from 8-10am on the South Shore.
Sheryl Ferguson will lead the birdwatching tour. Ferguson earned her wildlife degree from Humboldt State and worked for the U.S. Forest Service.
Space is very limited. To reserve a sport, RSVP to Lynne at LCPaulson@comcast.net or Krissi at 530.577.4335. They will provide location and details.
Washoe Meadows State Park is filled with wildflowers and birds right now. This will be a great walk.
The Forest Service tree thinning is devastating the nesting season elsewhere with scores of baby birds being thrown to the ground. I wish the loggers would call Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care when a nest comes down as volunteers would pick up the birds or squirrels and rehab them at the center. No time for that I guess.
Blue jeans, what is your motivation to make up stuff like that. You just completely fabricated that.
He’s probably referring to a story out of Oakland a few weeks back where the Post Office hired a local tree trimmer to cut back some trees where herons were nesting and dumping on the Post Office trucks.
The story described baby birds being tossed alive into the wood chipper and other carnage, perhaps accurately, perhaps not. Transferring the story to the Forest Service, Lake Tahoe and bird watching is just another example that folks don’t read too good, and comprehend even less.
Right, Kae?
Not referring to the Bay Area story; referring to the Tahoe story. Everyone knows that the trees are full of bird nests right now and that when the tree comes down so does the nest. To think that the extreme thinning is not bringing down nests is naive. In some areas people have been finding and rehabbing the baby birds.
