Upcoming Events

Program Meetings

From September to May we have monthly programs on the third Tuesday, 7 pm. at the Cargill Learning Center at the Sedgwick County Zoo. They feature a variety of nature topics that inform us and expand our horizons. All are free and open to everyone. Programs are recorded and posted on YouTube for those who miss the live meetings.

Field Trips

We take field trips every month of the year, from walks in local parks to multi-day expeditions to other states. Everyone is welcome, from beginners to experts. We have a casual bird walk the second Tuesday of every month inn Chisholm Creek Park, plus visits to other places around the state. Once a year we take a multi-day trip to some birding hotspot. We've been from Seattle to Puerto Rico, Southern California to Ohio. We love to watch birds and share them with others.
