This introduction into bird watching will begin with identification tips and binocular use. Participants will then spend the rest of the time on the trail viewing birds. Binoculars will be provided for those that need them. Enjoy outdoor cooking on the banks of the Arkansas River and discover the wonders of nature. After eating participants can choose from star programs, night hikes, owl prowls and special entertainment.
Kids can enjoy a scavenger hunt, building sandcastles or help seine for aquatic critters.
Transportation to the sandbar will be provided for those who need it. Reservations are required. Call the Nature Center for more information and ticket prices. Question mark, Admirals, and an abundance of Hackberry butterflies will be on our top ten list. Butterfly nets will be provided so participants can get a close look at these creatures.
