Bring flashlight\, binoculars\, and dress appropriately for the weather since we will be outside. Parking is available near the Allison Mansion and in the Marian Hall lot across from Allison Mansion. \nWe will meet at the St. Francis statue on the west side of the mansion\, and then head down to the EcoLab shortly after.

SUMMARY:Why Bird Feeding Makes a Difference
DESCRIPTION:Join ABAS Board Director Brian Cunningham for an informative program about feeding the birds. \nAnyone who has ever fed wild birds knows that it can bring joy to their lives. But\, does bird feeding just benefit people? Do the birds become dependent on the food we provide? We’ll take a look at what we have learned from various scientific studies and citizen science data on why feeding wild birds makes a difference for the health and well-being of people and for our backyard feathered visitors. \nBrian Cunningham has a love for the outdoors\, nature\, and birds. His greatest passion is helping others experience nature and opening their eyes to the wonder and beauty of birds. Brian has worked at Wild Birds Unlimited for 22 years and is their Product and Hobby Education Manager. \nBrian has a BS in Forestry with an emphasis in Forest Recreation from Purdue University.

SUMMARY:Smith’s Longspur Field Trip – Lye Creek Prairie Burn
DESCRIPTION:Join ABAS on a trip to the Lye Creek Prairie Burn (aka “The Burn”) and surrounding areas in search of migrating Smith’s Longspurs.

We will meet at 8:00 am at the old Marsh parking lot\, located at 6965 West 38th Street in Indianapolis\, and carpool to The Burn. While in the area\, we will also seek out any raptors\, waterfowl\, and shorebirds that may be present. Participants can expect to return to Indianapolis around 1:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Sodalis Nature Park Warbler Hike
DESCRIPTION:Join Scott Enochs at Sodalis Nature Park in Hendricks County in search of migrating warblers and other Spring arrivals! \nIn 2011\, a collaborative effort among Hendricks County Parks & Recreation\, the Indianapolis Airport Authority and the US Fish & Wildlife Service established Sodalis Nature Park in southeastern Hendricks County. This 210-acre tract lies within 2200 acres of land acquired by the Airport Authority for the purpose of wetland conservation and habitat protection for the endangered Indiana Bat (Myotis sodalis)\, after which the park is named. \nOnce opened to the public\, Sodalis quickly became known as one of the most productive birding hotspots in Hendricks County. 158 species have been recorded there according to eBird records\, including 34 warbler species\, 12 sparrow species\, and all the vireo\, swallow and woodpecker species expected in Indiana. In addition to migrants\, we will also target some of the species that breed in the park. One of the park’s specialties is Prairie Warbler. Territorial males can usually be seen and heard along the Oak Trace trail. If we are lucky\, we may also discover whether or not the Mississippi Kites that nested in the park the last two years have returned. \nSodalis Nature Park is located at 7700 South County Road 975 East\, Plainfield IN 46168. Participants will meet in the parking lot at 7:30 am. The hike is expected to take two and a half hours. Trails through the park are a mix of gravel and dirt and are normally an easy walk\, but interior trails can become very muddy after even moderate rain\, making access problematic. Appropriate footwear is recommended along with insect repellent. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Registration is encouraged\, but not required. Register by contacting Scott at (317) 850-4801\, or at msenochs@comcast.net.
