Join local author Nicholas Davis 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.

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.

We have limited handheld fans, water, binoculars, and cooling towels.

Demonstrations for using apps for birding and citizen science will be provided.
