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. Although this count still provides the small count atmosphere, it has plenty of big count diversity with 180 or more species most years. We will again be having our traditional seafood gumbo countdown dinner. 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 the count. Contact the co-compilers Ron Weeks (ronweeks@sbcglobal.net<\/a> or phone 979-285-8824) and Jennifer Wilson (jennifer_wilson@fws.gov<\/a> or phone daytime 979-964-4011) to sign up.<\/p>\n

This count circle in Chambers County includes High Island and Anahuac NWR. Newcomers are welcome to join! We can always use more counters at Anahuac NWR.

We will have access to closed areas of the refuge that you normally can’t see. You don’t need to be an expert. We will make sure teams are set up with experienced birders. It is a great way to learn from other birders.<\/p>\n

Please let me know if you’re coming so we don’t split up before you arrive. Fog, traffic, etc. can delay counters. Thursday, December 17, 2026 (tentative)
\nYou can email me or text me at the number below. You can just show up, but keep in mind we’ll fan out pretty fast after 7 am. If you decide to come at the last minute, text me anytime that morning after 3 am! Compiler: David Sarkozi, david@sarkozi.net<\/a>. 713-412-4409<\/p>\n

On the outskirts of the Texas Hill Country, and well inland- more than 60-80 miles from the Gulf, the Attwater CBC circle includes coastal prairie habitat, riparian bottomland hardwood forest, scrub-shrub, pine forest, agricultural pastures, and other habitats. In addition to these varied habitats, the geography of the CBC circle is a little east-meets-west and temperate-tugs-tropical, producing a wonderfully unique mix of birds. The Attwater CBC is one of the highest inland CBCs for bird diversity in the country. This CBC also provides a tremendous opportunity to bird the Attwater Prairie Chicken NWR as well as private property in Eagle Lake in Colorado County, Texas. The Attwater CBC will be held Wednesday, December 16, 2026 and is open to all birders, barring levels of expertise, and we welcome all who want to learn and love birds. If you are interested in participating, please contact Sumita Prasad at sumita@utexas.edu<\/a> for assignments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Although this count has very limited land area and a particularly small amount of wooded areas, it still typically is a top 20 or near top twenty U.S. CBCs. This count undoubtedly produces the most species for the available land area (much of the count circle is water) of all U.S. CBCs. The compilers are Lalise and Greg Mason, lalise@supldes.com<\/a> or call Greg at 713-725-4562. This count is traditionally held on the first Tuesday of the count period.<\/p>\n

The Birds Houston coastal team will participate in this count which includes the Bolivar Peninsula sanctuaries. Those interested in counting with us are encouraged to contact the respective count compilers, and\/or Wyatt Egelhoff (wegelhoff@birdshouston.org<\/a>). Observers of all skill levels are welcome. This count is an excellent opportunity to study winter shorebirds as it includes Bolivar Flats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Most of the count is on private land and participation in the CBC is the only way to gain access to some very productive wildlife lands. The diversity of the CBC is great and most sections have multiple exclusives. The CBC features extensive native grasslands, brushlands, floodplain forests, beaches and coastal marshes. We need skilled birders to scan for pelagics over the Gulf from land, skilled shorebirders to ride on boats to survey expansive mudflats and marshes of the delta of the Colorado River, and birders to survey narrow forest areas along the river for lingering neotrops. The count is always held on the first Monday of the CBC season. Contact compiler Brent Ortego, brentortego@hotmail.com<\/a> or 361-827-4691 cell, for count assignments.

The US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Friends of BNWR host an excellent set of programs that aim to connect young students with the great outdoors. They focus on subjects that schools would like to cover in class, but may lack the resources or just want to experience the real thing first hand.
