Want to test (or show off) your bird identification skills? Stop by Goose Pond Fish & Wildlife Area anytime between 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Oct. 12 to join in on our annual Big Sit! The Big Sit is a semi-competitive, international birding event that started back in 1992. The challenge is this: How many birds can you identify in one day while staying within a 17-foot diameter circle?

This event is primarily outdoors and is hosted outside the Goose Pond Visitors Center. Stop in for as long as you’d like to count some birds or just have a fun day in a beautiful setting! This event is open to people of all ages.

The Goose Pond Visitor’s Center is air conditioned and will provide a place to cool down if the weather is warm. Around the visitor’s center there is a paved pathway which offers accessible terrain for this event.

Please register to attend this free event.

DNR values access for all participants and will provide reasonable accommodation for this event. Please contact Ethan Plumier at [email protected] or 812-512-9185 to request an accommodation or discuss any questions and concerns. Requests must be submitted at least one week before the event.
