Bird Watching in Lake County

< Back

Lake County is one of Northern California's premiere bird watching destinations. Up close and personal views of a wide variety of species make it a necessary stop on your bird watching adventure. Just some of the bird species that visitors can see are Great Blue Herons, Clark's and Western Grebes, Ospreys, Green Herons, Double-Crested Cormorants, and Black Crowned Night Herons. The best viewing time is before 10:00 am, when the birds are collecting food. A pair of binoculars and the use of a boat will definitely enhance viewing abilities.

The Redbud Audubon Society is your local bird watching resource and presents the Heron Festival every April, a great way to learn about the local and migrant species. The Redbud Audubon Society was created in 1975 and is a nonprofit under the National Audubon Society. The society runs bird watching field trips, local programs, and volunteer programs.
