OUTDOORS: Birding event now under way
The 19th annual Great Texas Birding Classic is now underway.
More than 550 participants have registered for this event, which will run from April 15 to May 15.
“Forty percent more people are going out birding throughout the state than last year,” according to a press release with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
Eleven state parks are having Big Sit! events, and the public is welcome to attend.
The Big Sit! has been called a tailgate party for birders.
It is one of the nine tournament categories in which teams watch and listen during a 24-hour period for various bird species within a 17-foot diameter circle.
Big Sit! events are set for the following state parks: Colorado Bend, Eisenhower, Estero Llano Grande, Galveston’s Goose Island, Lake Colorado City, Martin Dies Jr., McKinney Falls, Resaca de la Palma, South Llano and Tyler.
Check the online calendar tpwd.texas.gov/calendar/birding or reach the parks directly. Read more in the weekend Bowie News.
