Wait – hush! What was that rustling sound? Was it the wind in the dry grass or did a ghost just brush by?

Other good “I spy” objects are – hollow tree, “faces” in the burl of a tree, animal tracks, leaf skeletons, crows, vultures, worms, and beetles.

On the way to the Refuge, look through your bird field guide for the birds wearing “masks”!

You can imagine the “ghost” town of Hagerman that was cleared away when Lake Texoma was built, after visiting the historic Hagerman exhibit in the Visitor Center.
If the Halloween fun begins to pall, you might want to move into “harvest” mode. At the Refuge, berry, nut, and mushroom picking are allowed without a permit, for personal use only, 5 gallons per person per day. Firewood cutting (from fallen trees) is allowed, with a Special Use Permit, obtainable at the Refuge Office during weekday business hours (7:30 – 4 pm, Monday – Friday).
