KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The December monthly meeting for the Redbud Audubon Society on Thursday, Dec. 13, at the Kelseyville Presbyterian Church Social hall will be the traditional bird identification program.

This is a popular program and is great for both beginners and veterans of birding.

The meeting starts at 7 p.m. with refreshments, followed by the program at 7:15 p.m.

The bird identification program is a great way to learn about the common and not-so-common birds of Lake County, especially if you are planning to participate in the Christmas Bird Count, slated for Dec. 15.

Even if you are not participating in the bird count, learning about common birds is very fun and gratifying.

Brad Barnwell will give a power point presentation featuring amazing photographs of many of Lake County’s birds. The program emphasizes the field characteristics of birds likely to be seen during the count.
