Christmas Bird Count (CBC) – San Bernard NWR (TXSB)

Come join us for the 2024 San Bernard NWR CBC. This unique count provides opportunities to bird areas of the refuge not normally open to the public. Also open for counters is the state’s Nannie Stringfellow Wildlife Management Area. This count also claims some of the best hospitality around with the refuge staff participating in the count. This year marks the first anniversary of the post-COVID return of the famous countdown dinner of seafood gumbo! Marty Cornell and his band of chefs will once again be prepping that meal on site. Although this count still provides the small count atmosphere, it has plenty of big count diversity with 180 or more species most years. You can join us by contacting either of the co-compilers below or by showing up at the refuge headquarters on CR306 at 0630 hours on the morning of Friday, December 20th. Contact the co-compilers Ron Weeks (ronweeks@sbcglobal.net or phone 979-285-8824) and Jennifer Wilson (jennifer_wilson@fws.gov or phone daytime 979-964-4011) to sign up.
