There’s a lot to see in Kansas, especially if you’re a lover of the outdoors. Animals specifically love to call Kansas home during migration periods, and we’re happy to have them. This winter, you’ll find that one of our favorite birds likes to migrate here, making it the perfect time to get all the pictures you need and teach younger generations about the importance of every Kansas nature center and state park. Come take a look at who will be visiting this winter!

This beautiful bridge is part of a place called Chaplin Nature Center. It's beautiful throughout the year, but something special happens every winter.
