Feathers by the Water: A Morning of Discovery at Heritage Park
Details
There's something special about slowing down beside the water and watching the world wake up.
Join Birds of a Feather KC for another relaxed Sunday morning of birdwatching, connection, and discovery at Heritage Park in Olathe!
This week, we'll explore the beautiful Heritage Lake area, keeping our eyes open for ducks, other waterbirds, and whatever feathered visitors might surprise us along the way.
Whether you can identify birds by their calls or you're still learning the difference between a duck and a grebe (same here, we're learning together!), you're welcome. 💚
