The Little Sit - January 7, 2022, 7:00 a.m.,
Pad-H on the west side of Hagerman NWR.

Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge -- If you want to learn how to identify the birds of North Texas, the "Little Sit" is the perfect way to start. Modeled after Cornell's "Big Sit," a group of dedicated birders meet once a month at the end of Pad H on the West side of Hagerman NWR. 

An expert "bird identifier" will be present at each "Sit" and will keep track of the number of each species of birds observed and enter the data into eBird. The public is welcome to join us for the count--no experience is needed. 

We meet on the First Saturday of each month, 30 minutes before sunrise to watch the birds come in to the water and begin to feed. We usually stay out for 2-3 hours, but you are welcome for all or part of the Little Sit.
