Friends of Hagerman NWR – Little Sit Bird Count – July 6, 2024

Patricia Crain, Class of 2018

Earn VH by participating in this monthly bird count. Meet Jack and the Bird Census Team while learning how to identify the birds of North Texas, and enjoy the beautiful sunrise over Lake Texoma! Modeled after Cornell’s national “Big Sit” event, a group of dedicated birders invite you to join them at sunrise to conduct a bird count as multiple species fly to the water and the surrounding land to feed. Leaders will bring spotting scopes and will provide tips for identification of the many species you will see.
