Thursday, May 1st: FWAS Big Sit! at Richland Creek WMA
May 1 @ 5:30 am - 9:00 pm
$30.00
Join Ted Drozdowski and other Ft. Worth Audubon team members as we take part in this year’s 29th Annual Great Texas Birding Classic. Our count circle will be at the Richland Creek Wildlife Management Area, about 25 miles east of Corsicana, on the Navarro/Freestone County line. This year Ted is inviting more folks to participate. As with all Big Sits, we plan on being there from dawn to dusk, but participants are free to come and go as they please. We were forced to cancel our participation in 2024 due to flooding from all of last spring’s unseasonal rains. In 2023, our team won 1st place in our division with 96 species! We hope to top that this year. Rain dates will be either Friday, May 2nd, or Wednesday, May 7th.
The cost is $30.00 which includes this year’s official GTBC t-shirt. Please note, if our dates are rained out, the registration fee is non-refundable. You will still receive a great t-shirt. Proceeds from your registration support bird habitat and education programs in Texas.
To sign up, contact Ted Drozdowski at drozdovekie@sbcglobal.net, or call (817) 908-6897. Ted will select the exact location at the WMA as the date draws closer. He looks for the best location to see the marsh and the nearby woodlands.
Participants will also need a ‘Limited Public Use’ permit to access the WMAs. Go online to https://www.txfgsales.com/CustomerSearch.aspx, enter the data, and select the LPU Permit Item 175. the permit cost $12 a year, and expires August 31 of each year. It is good for access to all WMAs in Texas.
