The registration deadline (April 1) for this year’s Great Texas Birding Classic is approaching quickly. Join this fun, friendly, birdwatching competition in one of several tournament categories for all ages and skill levels -then pick your tournament days: any day from April 15-May 15.
The Texas Two-Stop Tournament. Visit two sites only and see how many species you can tally in a 48-hour period (up to 24 hours per site). The Big Sit! Bird from a 17-foot diameter circle with your friends, family, or colleagues! This category is great for teams that have one or two “ringer” birders or large teams. State Park Tournament, Big Sit! or Sunrise-to-Noon Tournaments. Ideal for teams seeking a more laid-back day without too much traveling around and mixed age teams. Regional Big Day. Perfect for those who want to test their skills against others in a specific part of the state, while birding for most or all of a 24-hour period. Categories are separated by age groups: Roughwings (13&younger), Gliders (age 14-18), or Adults (19&up). Statewide Tournament. Take on birders throughout Texas for either the Statewide Big Day Tournament (one day) or the Statewide Weeklong Tournament (six consecutive days). Human-Powered Tournament. Go birding by canoe, on a bike, walking, or with any other non-motorized transportation and see how many birds you can count in a day!
