Thanks to a grant from Flight Path, part of the Spark of Science @My Library initiative, the Cody Library will host a series of free bird-related programs from November 2025 through spring 2026. The grant provides educational materials designed to help communities learn about bird migration, local species, and ways to support bird habitats close to home.

Upcoming Programs (updated 3/9/2026)

On Thursday, March 12 from 5:30–6:30 p.m., Katie Singleton from Buffalo Bill State Park will lead Read with a Ranger in Grizzly Hall at the Cody Library. This family-friendly program invites children ages 4–10 (with some flexibility) and their caregivers to enjoy stories about birds and learn more about the natural world through reading and discussion.

On Wednesday, March 19 from 5:30–6:30 p.m., Kendra Morris of Pollen Landscaping will present Planting with Native Landscaping in Grizzly Hall at the Cody Library. This program will explore how native plants support birds, pollinators, and local ecosystems, and how participants can incorporate native landscaping into their own yards. The program is free and open to the public.

On Tuesday, March 31 from 2:00–4:00 p.m., Olivia Bergeon will lead a

Watercolor Butterfly Painting program in Grizzly Hall at the Cody Library. Participants will learn about butterflies and their role in the ecosystem before creating their own watercolor artwork. Supplies will be provided, and the program is free and open to the public.

In April (date to be announced), a session on Creating Pollinator & Bird-Friendly Yards will feature Kendra Morris of Pollen Landscapes, along with Olivia Bergeon and Bobbie Holder, sharing practical tips for attracting and supporting local birds and pollinators in your own backyard.

Finally, during May, the library will offer weekly birding field trips at the Paul Stock Trail, giving the community hands-on opportunities to observe birds in their natural habitat. Details for these trips will be announced closer to the month, so stay tuned!

Whether you’re a seasoned birder, a budding photographer, or someone who just enjoys watching chickadees out the kitchen window, there’s a feathered program for you at the Cody Library.

Bring your curiosity, grab a friend, and get ready to spread your wings!
