Wildlife Walks

Join the Midwest City library for a close encounter with Oklahoma's amazing critters! This outdoor event will take you on an exciting expedition to spot local birds, bugs, reptiles and amphibians in their natural habitats near the library grounds. We'll start inside the library and take a walk down our walking trail. We will be learning how to use the Merlin ID app that listens to the birds around you and tells you what kind of bird is singing. Please bring any materials to help support your experience and comfort. We suggest bringing the following: comfortable clothing and shoes, suitable for the weather sunscreen water bottle mobile smartphone with eBird, iNaturalist, and/or Merlin apps for bird identification. Demonstrations for using these apps for birding and citizen science will be provided. We have limited handheld fans, water, binoculars, and cooling towels.
