Annual bird count on the Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge

Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge will be hosting the 21st Annual Trinity River Christmas Bird Count for northern Liberty County on Thursday, December 28, 2017. Areas to be counted include the Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge, Tarkington Prairie, and Gaylor Lake. We will meet at 7:00am at the Chevron gas station located at the intersection of Hwy 105 and Hwy 321, about 6 miles southeast of Cleveland.

Some folks will bird the “bottoms” so be sure to bring a sack lunch, rubber knee boots and other appropriate outdoor clothing. The wrap-up dinner will be held at the Texas Seafood & Steakhouse restaurant in Cleveland. Birdwatchers of all levels are welcome. If you have any questions you can contact Stuart Marcus at 936/336-9786 or stuart_marcus@fws.gov.
