How many birds can YOU spot from within a 50-foot circle? Join us and find out!

We will be hanging out at the Woodland Blind all morning, and keeping a running tally of all the different types of birds we see (or hear)!

Volunteers and staff will be on hand, ready to share their love of birding, and we’ll have extra sets of binoculars for you to look through as well.

All ages and skill levels welcome.

What: A “Big Sit!” Often called a tailgate party for birders, a Big Sit! is a stationary birdwatching activity where birders see how many different kinds of birds they can spot from within a 50-foot circle. Join our Great Texas Birding Classic team, the Woodland Blind Warblers, and count birds along with us!

Who: You and your family! All ages and skill levels are welcome.

Where: We’ll be hosting our Big Sit at the park’s Woodland Blind (northwest corner of the big river parking lot).

When: The Big Sit will go from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. Drop in for a few minutes, or stay for a while!

Why: Because birdwatching is a great outdoor activity that everyone can enjoy!

What to bring: Bring your own binoculars, if you have them! We will also have binoculars available for you to use.
