We plan to stay out for about 2 hours and will be traveling on flat gravel surfaces. Everyone is welcome to stay for as long or as short a time as you like. There are no restrooms along the path. We'll have extra binoculars for those who would like to borrow them. Check the weather ahead of the trip and dress for comfort.
This program is part of Go Birds: Appreciating Our Avian Friends, an exhibition in the 2nd Floor West Gallery at the Parkway Central Library running from June 2nd to August 30th, 2025.
Birds have long captivated humankind with their graceful flight, unique plumage, and enchanting songs. Adapting to natural and built environments, birds have physical and innate characteristics that help them survive. Beyond the dangers of the natural world, birds are also affected by human-imposed hazards. With many conservation challenges facing avian species today, there is an urgent need to safeguard bird habitats for generations to come.
Whether you are a seasoned birder or simply curious about the feathered friends in your neighborhood, this exhibition offers a chance to reflect on these incredible creatures and the ways in which we observe, depict, and protect them.
Objects on display are from the Children’s Literature Research Collection, Government Publications, Map Collection, and Print and Picture Collection. To learn more visit: freelibrary.org/specialcollections
