Bird Watching at the Library

 

 

 

The Wichita Audubon Society has donated bird feeders and food to the library to encourage community interest and involvement in bird watching. This previous winter, a rare species, the Red Crossbill, was even spotted at APL's bird feeders. Periodically, the Wichita Audubon Society gives classes on bird watching at APL. Please check our Upcoming Events Page to check for classes.
