First Flight: Sunday Morning Birding at Shawnee Mission Park Sunday, October 25, 2026 | 9:30–10:30 AM
Come curious. Find your flock!
Join Birds of a Feather KC for our first Sunday morning birding walk!
We'll gather near Shawnee Mission Lake to observe birds, enjoy the changing fall scenery, and get to know one another.
I'm a complete beginner to birding myself, so there's no expectation that anyone arrives with special knowledge or experience. We're here to discover and learn together!
