2 August 24, August 26, 2018 Grebe Festival Almanor Recreation Center 451 Meadowbrook Loop Teresa Arrate, teresa@plumasaudubon.org Lake Almanor is the place to be the weekend of August 24th through 26th as we celebrate the extraordinary dancing grebes with our third annual Grebe Festival centered in Chester, CA. Western and Clark s Grebes (Aechmophorus occidentalis and A. clarkii) nest on Lake Almanor which is considered an Important Bird Area by National Audubon and which has grown in its importance as a breeding site for these grebes in recent years as drought has caused loss of nesting habitat elsewhere. Late August is a great time to view the grebes as they are still nesting on the lake in colonies, racing across the water in their incredible rushing displays, and when some babies are hatching and climbing aboard their parents backs. Kayak and pontoon field trips will allow festival-goers to get an up-close (but not too close!) look at nesting grebes. A variety of other field trips around the Lake Almanor basin and Lassen National Park will be sure to satisfy!

But, on one special day of the year, they rise to meet the challenge and hand cycle or wheelchair around Lake Almanor, They do so because they have a deep commitment to helping others, he said. In addition to the Sunday morning endurance challenge, WALA offers a Saturday evening dinner and an event day breakfast and lunch for the participants. While the primary participants are hand cyclists, everyone is encouraged to ride for this cause. A separate registration form will be made available to any cycler who would like to ride and support the wheelchair athletes.
