Join ABAS President and Field Trip Chair Chuck Anderson for a field trip to Celery Bog Nature Area. This will be a great opportunity to view early migrating waterfowl and year-round resident birds. Target birds include Northern Pintail, Redhead, and Canvasback ducks. Swans, Greater White-fronted Goose, and various species of grebe also frequent Celery Bog. Mudflats on the south side may have shorebirds depending on water levels.

The terrain is flat and trails are well managed. The hike will be 2 to 2 1/2 miles. Modern restrooms are available at the Lilly Nature Center. Bring binoculars and a spotting scope if you have one. Dress appropriately for the weather. We’ll meet at 8:00 am in the first parking lot on the right, inside the park.

There is no fee for the field trip. However, it is limited to 10 participants, and registration is required. Priority registration is available for ABAS members through March 12, 2022, at which time if there are any spots open, registration will be open to non-members. Email Chuck Anderson at chucka1999@aol.com or text (317) 767-5438 to reserve your spot on the field trip. Chuck will be accepting standby names now that the trip is full.

If you have any questions, please email Chuck at chucka1999@aol.com.
