Calling all beginner birders! Are you interested in bird watching but have no idea where to begin? Join us for our Bird Walk for Beginners event on Saturday, April 27th at 8 a.m.
Our Bird Walk for Beginners event aims to lessen the learning curve for new birders. Attendees will go on a guided walk of the Mollie Spencer Farm with experienced birders from the Oklahoma City Audubon Society. The expert birders will help attendees find birds and discuss the basics of birding, including how to listen for bird calls and properly use binoculars.
Attendees are strongly encouraged to bring their own binoculars to this event. A limited number of binoculars will be available on a first come, first served basis.
This event will involve a lot of walking, so please prepare accordingly!
WildCare Oklahoma's Spring 2024 WildCare Baby Shower: Better Together will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2024 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Attendance will be limited to 200 guests per hour to ensure the best possible experience for visitors and the animals in care. Registration is free and available online, by calling WildCare at (405) 872-9338, or emailing info@wildcareoklahoma.org.
Building on the 2024 Baby Shower theme of Better Together, visitors will get to meet some of the injured, ill, or orphaned wildlife in care at the center, vote for the cutest baby of 2024, learn about ways WildCare is improving efficiency and outcomes of the work, see where WildCare is in the process of building new enclosures, learn about some of WildCare's new research initiatives, participate in wildlife themes activities, and see the new Songbird Enclosure. WildCare will be officially dedicating the new songbird enclosure at 1:30 p.m. during the baby shower.
Visitors will be able to tour the facility with friends and family and learn from our veterinary team, wildlife rehabilitation staff, and volunteers about the varied species cared for at WildCare.
This is the one time per year people can visit and get a behind-the-scenes look at WildCare and the wide range it does for the community and throughout the state of Oklahoma.
If you can't attend but would like to send a baby shower gift to help care for the over 7,400 animals admitted to WildCare annually, visit www.wildcareoklahoma.org to see the baby shower wish list.
