Participants will be divided into groups and will explore the birds of the refuge and surrounding area. This year's count will encompass an area 15 miles in diameter: all the way into Oklahoma in the north, Grayson Airport in east and Sherwood shores/Cedar Mills in northwest. Dress for the weather and meet at the Visitor Center at 7am. Stay as long as you like, or all day. Bring water, lunch and/or snacks. Dinner for registered participants of the count will be sponsored by the Friends of Hagerman in the FOH Building when the Bird Count concludes at 5:00 PM. Register Today! to reserve your spot
