Don’t miss two fun, educational opportunities at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge this Saturday. From 8-9 a.m., Master Naturalist Jack Chiles will lead an Early Bird Walk (weather permitting). Participants will view birds and wildlife along Harris Creek Trail, walking about two miles, and returning to the Visitor Center in time for the Second Saturday program.

The Second Saturday program at 10 a.m. is Birding By Ear with Dr. Wayne Meyer. In this presentation, you’ll learn that observing birds requires more than just seeing them. When you learn to recognize their songs, you will find more birds and get better ideas about where to find them. Top birders hear more birds first than they see first. Come learn a few of the common birds around the refuge and improve your results.
Ornithologist Dr. Wayne Meyer began birding at the age of 13 in Connecticut. He has birded extensively on both coasts of the United States and has spent the past quarter century birding in Texas and Oklahoma. Dr. Meyer has conducted extensive research on prairie birds and has been studying song learning and vocal development in Painted Buntings for more than a decade. He is a sought-after speaker for Master Naturalist groups and a frequent presenter at the Friends of Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge Second Saturday programs.
