SUMMARY:Lye Creek Prairie Burn Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join hike leader Nick Kiehl for a field trip to the Lye Creek Prairie Burn\, aka “The Burn”\, in search of fall sparrows\, migrant waterfowl and possibly shorebirds.  For those of you who don’t know Nick\, here is a little background on him.  \n  \nNick began birding at age 7. Before he could drive his parents took him to all the hot spots in Indianapolis and as a teen\, he was a member of the Young Birders group along with Aidan Rominger and Jonathan Bontrager\, two other outstanding birders. He has birded all over Indiana and in several foreign countries. He enjoys leading hikes and I think everyone will enjoy Nick and appreciate his expertise.  \n  \nThe participants will meet at the Burn at 8:30 am. The terrain is flat and there are mowed trails\, although the ground can be uneven in some areas. Hiking shoes will help with the terrain. Please note that there are no restroom facilities on the property.  \n  \nThe field trip is limited to 12 people and registration is required. Priority registration is available to ABAS members until September 17 but non-members should sign up early\, as once registration is open\, it will be first come first serve. When you sign up please indicate whether you are a member or not and your phone number. The phone number is in case of cancelation if the weather is too severe. To register\, email Laurie Voss at laurievoss25@gmail.com. Registration and any communication after September 24 should go to Val Chambon at valeriejchambon@gmail.com.  \n  \nThe Burn is on County Road 650 N in Montgomery County near Crawfordsville. To get there from I74 take the US 231 exit and go north just under 3 miles to County Road 550 N. Take a right on County Road 550 N for just over a mile to County Road 150 E. Take a left on County Road 150 E and continue to County Road 650 N. Take a right on County Road 650 N for less than a mile to The Burn which will be on your right. Look for the tree line that runs north and south. The GPS coordinates are: 40.135048\, -86.863575 \n  \nWhat: Lye Creek Prairie Burn Field Trip for Sparrows\, migrant waterfowl\, and possible shorebirds.  \n  \nWhen: Sunday\, October 12 from 8:30 — 11:00 am.  \n  \nWhere: Lye Creek Prairie Burn\, Montgomery County

SUMMARY:Randy Patrick: De-extinction
DESCRIPTION:Join Randy Patrick\, retired Deep Time geologist and taxonomist specializing in species extinction\, for a talk on “De-extinction is it the way to go.” Randy will discuss the bird species being brought back and how close this CRISPR technology and other technologies are to reanimating extinct birds.

SUMMARY:Bird Safe Indy Downtown Walkabout
DESCRIPTION:Join Wes Homoya for a downtown bird strike walkabout on the morning of Friday\, October 24. The meeting place will be the corner of Market Street and Alabama Street at the northeast side of the City-County Building. This walk will last approximately 1.5 hours (1-2 miles of walking) and will highlight both “problem” buildings and the most offensive windows/areas of individual buildings with regard to bird strikes. Attendees will also be shown buildings\, building designs\, and window solutions which minimize bird strikes.  \nThis is a unique opportunity to understand all facets of window-strike bird morbidity/mortality in a more visceral way than just seeing or reading about the problem. The program is limited to 15 participants and prior registration is preferred. Indicate interest in attending by contacting Deb Patrick\, Bird Safe Indy Chair\, at puriudeb@yahoo.com or message Wes Homoya via his Facebook page.
