Bird City Bastrop’s BIG SIT 2021

November 20

November 20, 2021 @ 8:30 am - 11:00 am

8:30am - 11:00am

Bastrop, Texas will be hosting a series come-and-go BIG SIT birdwatching / bird counting circles on the 4th Saturday of the month through October with a sit on the 3rd Saturday in November. It’s easy and fun. Participants see how many birds can be spotted or heard without leaving the circle. It’s great for beginners because more experienced folks will be around to offer guidance. Usually it’s done in a 17-foot circle but our circle will be widened to 50 feet to allow for 6 feet of social distancing between birders (or birder families.) If more people show up, more “circles” may be added.

Please bring whatever you need to be comfortable, whether it be a blanket or chair, binoculars or scope, field guide, water, snacks, etc. You also don’t have to bring anything to participate! Your eyes and ears are enough! Many birders stand at the “sits” and many folks bird by ear and with their naked eyes.

Please note that the locations change each month, with participants going to many different beautiful sites around the county.
