I currently attend Santa Clara University which is a private 4year university located in the Silicon Valley, and I just finished up freshman year. I grew up in Red Bluff since I was in the 5th grade, and I had gotten used to a small town where no matter where I went, I always saw someone that I knew. Going to college really put me outside of my comfort zone. Walking into my freshman orientation, I knew no one. There wasn't one familiar face; and that frightened me. It was the first time since I can remember that I went into a room without my family or friends there to lean back on. During my first quarter, I was doubting myself. I felt weird being away from my friends and family, people who truly understood my quirks. I felt like I couldn't compete with these other students who came from private schools, who took all AP type classes, who had higher test scores. I felt like I couldn't get along with them coming from a small town from the part of California that most people don't know exists. As the quarter continued on, and I did start to make friends and we found things that connected us: our love/hate of the Lakers, staying on Pinterest for too long, talking about where we came from and our families. I started to get involved in different clubs on campus. In the classroom, if there was something the experience, as cliché as it that I didn't know or couldn't sounds, is life changing. Don't figure out, I would ask for compare your past experiences to everyone else's. I found help from my that living in Red Bluff professor or made me who I am today, my classand how lucky I am to have mates. I ended grown up in a town like my first quarthis.

African Adventures with Chris Burchfild Monday, Sept. 16, 6:30 p.m. Chico Creek Nature Center Come see extraordinary photos and hear the stories of unexpected, unpleasant, or to use another phrase, "exciting encounters" of safaris Chris took in Botswana, Kenya, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and Zambia between 2002 and 2010. His focus is mostly mammals but he has quite a number of bird photos, which will include Ostriches, Helmeted Guinea Fowl, Vulturine Guinea Fowl, Hartlaub Francolin, Bateleur Eagles, Secretary Birds, Goliath Herons, Bee Eater species, plus more. His photos are intended to be a resource for our children today when they reach maturity. By that time," because of Africa's tremendous population explosion, destruction of its environment, and uncontrolled poaching, these animals will exist only in enclosed parks of a few thousand acres each. Which is to say whatever is left will not in any sense of the word be a wild animal." Chris first became interested in wild animals at the age of five when his Uncle Jack gave him a book titled, "Jungle Animals," by "Bring 'em Back Alive" Frank Buck. By dint of some great stroke of fortune, three years later his father took a job on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, home to tigers, orangutans, elephants, pythons and much more. On his return to the U.S. a year later, his interest in all things wild spread to birds because of his fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Needleman, who took the class on numerous bird walks. About this time his father completed his PhD with a study of plants in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. He took Chris and his brother on several plant hunting excursions; which widened his curiosity about nature still further. As a young man he hunted in upstate New York until about the age of 23 when he quit. Still, Chris is a firm believer in hunting as a game management tool, so long as it is done by someone else. Thus he prefers to be referred to as a conservationist, or "outdoor enthusiast." Sept. 20 - 22, Friday Sunday - Point Reyes National Seashore Trip Leader: Jennifer Patten Point Reyes National Seashore is well-known for its excellent birding. The seashore and surrounding areas offer many different habitats from grasslands, estuaries, and coastal scrub to forests. The projection of the Point Reyes peninsula some 10 miles seaward from the "mainland" makes Point Reyes National Seashore a landing spot for many vagrants - birds that may have made errors in navigation and thus are unexpected in this area. Each fall these vagrants seek out resting spots along the peninsula on their way south. Some of these rarities have included Blackthroated Blue Warbler, American Redstart, Whitethroated Sparrow, Palm Warbler and Prothonotary Warbler. We will visit these vagrant traps (resting spots), such as the Fish Docks, the lighthouse rocks and cliff areas, Abbott's Lagoon, Tomales Bay, Drake's Beach, Bear Valley, Olema Marsh and the famous historic ranches along the way. We will camp Friday and Saturday night at Olema RV Resort and Campground. Please contact Jennifer at 530345-9356 or jpchico@sbcglobal.net if you are interested in going. Trip is limited to 12.
