May 4—Birdwatching has become more popular during the COVID-19 pandemic, often helping people cope during lockdown, as it became a safer, social distancing activity. Here are the birds coming in and around Wichita and the eight most popular places to watch them.

Walking and biking the trails around Wichita parks can be great ways to find unique birds around Wichita, according to Bob Gress, the former director of the Great Plains Nature Center.
"Every little park scattered around Wichita is going to have something in it," Gress said, but this northeast park at the Great Plains Nature Center, near 29th and Woodlawn, offers wetlands, woodlands and grasslands, therefore making it an excellent place for several colorful and unique species.
