Texoma's Frigid-Weathered Friends: Backyard Birds During Brutally Cold Weather

When the weather is unusually cold or snowy, you may notice more variety in the species of birds enjoying your seed feeder, suet feeder or thawed bird bath.  Thanks to the amazing Hagerman NWR photographers who share their photos on Facebook, we are able to bring you a beautiful collection of birds you may see in your backyard when natural resources are more difficult to find. Like nearly all photos on our website, these photos were taken at Hagerman NWR.  Click to enlarge images.

Thank you to all these wonderful photographers!

Bird Resources

Each Tuesday a team of expert birders, led by Master Naturalist Jack Chiles, takes a refuge bird census by recording the number of birds they encounter throughout the refuge.  They report their findings to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for use in research, see the link below for recent results.
