RBAS Big Sit Event
May 5, 2018 @ 5:00 AM - 8:00 PM
Dear all, next Saturday will be the Rio Brazos Audubon Big Sit event, kindly sponsored by Thomas Moore Feed.
For those of you unfamiliar with this event, we will be fielding a team of birders who will sit within a 17ft circle from before dawn until dusk trying to observe as many bird species as possible. We will be competing against other teams from across the state and have won the event several times in the past few years. While the team itself has already been established and is not accepting additional members, we would strongly encourage people to come along and help spot birds for the group and to join us in a fun day of birding. Many of the areas most active birders will be there and will be happy to help you improve your birding skills. We would also encourage people to bring family, friends and food 😉 If the birding continues as it has the last couple of days it could be fantastic!!!
The event is being held at Brison park in the field closest to the main wooded section. We will be setting up feeders, and a drip on Friday evening as well as removing trash from the area adjacent to the birding site on Friday evening, and volunteers will be greatly appreciated.
Looking forward to seeing you all Saturday (and hopefully some of you on Friday)
Mark
