Reading Ranger Storytime: Turkey Vultures!
SAYRE, Oklahoma: Bring the family and join a Park Ranger at Gallery @112 for free storytelling & an activity. For the month of June, kids will learn about vultures with the story “Vulture View” by April Sayre, a story about vultures as they soar on balmy air in search of their next stinky meal.
The accompanying activity is to make turkey vultures out of toilet paper tubes. Turkey Vultures are commonly seen by visitors at Washita Battlefield. Many tribes view vultures as unclean and symbols of death however, they serve an important ecological role in the environment. Future Reading Ranger Events will continue to be held on the second Saturday of every month.
Cannot make the Reading Ranger in person? Check on our park Facebook page for a Virtual Vulture Reading Ranger Program.
