Annual ‘Big Sit!’ at Lake Waxahachie, Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023
October 7, 2023
Join Ted Drozdowski for his 10th annual Big Sit event at his home on the western end of Lake Waxahachie in central Ellis County. This is an all-day event (from dawn to dusk!!..,) but participants are invited to join the fun for any length of time. Let Ted know before hand that you plan to attend. The Big Sit!
The Big Sit! is a semi-competitive event originated by the New Haven (CT) Bird Club in 1992. Participants stay within a 17-foot diameter circle and count species that are seen from the circle. The event quickly grew into an international event with teams in many countries. Although it is a competition, it has become a “birder’s tailgate party”. The bird list from Ted’s backyard is currently 230 species!
