The Friends of Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) will host a ‘Little Sit’ bird watching event on Nov. 2 at 7:15 a.m.
The first Saturday of each month, about 30 minutes before sunrise, attendees can meet the Bird Census Team while learning how to identify the birds of North Texas and admiring the beauty of the sunrise over Lake Texoma.
Modeled after Cornell’s national ‘Big Sit’ event, a group of dedicated birders welcome attendees to join a bird count as multiple species fly to the water and surrounding land to feed. Leaders will bring spotting scopes and will provide tips for identification of the many species to be seen.
Although the event lasts a couple of hours, attendees are welcome to come and go as they please. Participants are advised to bring a chair, binoculars and water to drink.
The Little Sit will take place at Pad-H on the west side of Hagerman NWR. For a map to the location, additional information and to register to receive event updates, visit www.friendsofhagerman.com or email [email protected].
This event is funded by donations, and is therefore free and open to the public.
