Hagerman Bird Festival

Hagerman Bird Festival in conjunction with the Sherman Bird Festival

The Sherman-Hagerman Bird Festival is a multi-location, multi-activity celebration of our feathered friends in nature and art as spring migration is in full swing at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge on Lake Texoma. Events will take place at both the Refuge and throughout the Downtown Sherman Cultural District. Hagerman NWR serves as refuge and breeding grounds for migratory birds and is well known for the diversity of birds that can be found here. In all, 338 species have been counted, including American white pelicans, warblers, hummingbirds, and nesting tanagers, painted and indigo buntings, and nesting bald eagles. Hagerman activities run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and include bird walks, tram tours, children’s activities, three lectures, and book signing with Sam Crowe – Photographic Guide to the Birds of North America
