PWS member, Robyn Raggio, the new Director of Children's Creative Learning at the Bonham, TX Creative Art Center, has been named February Photographer of the Month by the Friends of Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge. Ms. Raggio is a team leader on Photo Safari's for Hagerman throughout the year and will have twelve photographs taken at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge featured in a virtual gallery on the Friends website.
Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge lies on the Big Mineral Arm of Lake Texoma, on the Red River between Oklahoma and Texas. Established in 1946, the refuge includes 3,000 acres of marsh and water and 8,000 acres of upland and farmland. During fall, winter, and spring, the marshes and waters are in constant use by migrating and wintering waterfowl.
Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1946 as an overlay of a portion of the Big Mineral arm of Lake Texoma. Consisting of about 12,000 acres, the Refuge provides a variety of habitats for birds and wildlife. Canada, snow, white-fronted, and Ross' geese along with pintail, mallard, gadwall and other ducks use refuge impoundments and fields as stop-over and wintering grounds. White pelicans by the thousands can be seen here during their spring and fall migrations. Deer, turkeys, bobcats, hawks, and songbirds are abundant.
