Birdwatchers of all experience levels are invited to participate in the 30th Annual Trinity River Christmas Bird Count on Tuesday, Dec. 29, hosted by the Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge.
The annual event will bring volunteers together to identify and count birds across northern Liberty County. Areas to be surveyed include the Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge, Tarkington Prairie and Gaylor Lake.
Participants should meet at 7 a.m. at the Shell Fuel Max gas station at the intersection of Highway 105 and FM 2518.
Some volunteers will venture into the Trinity River bottomlands, so participants are encouraged to bring a sack lunch, rubber knee boots and appropriate outdoor clothing.
Birdwatchers of all skill levels are welcome, from beginners to experienced birders. Texas Master Naturalists may also count their participation toward volunteer service hours.
