SUMMARY:Shari McCollough\, caretaker of the Lye Creek Prairie Burn
DESCRIPTION:Join Shari McCollough\, owner and caretaker of the Lye Creek Prairie Burn nestled in northeastern Montgomery County\, for a presentation on this remarkable 83-acre sanctuary which serves as a haven for both migratory and nesting birds. This rich tapestry of wetlands and prairie grasses is an ideal stopover for weary travelers\, where birds can forage\, preen\, bathe\, and find a much-needed respite before continuing their arduous journeys.  Since its establishment in 2008\, this thriving habitat has welcomed an impressive 240 documented bird species. Among these winged visitors\, we’ve had some amazing rarities such as Yellow Rail\, Cinnamon Teal\, and\, most recently\, two Eurasian Tree Sparrows. Each day at Lye Creek Prairie Burn unfolds like a captivating chapter in nature’s story\, where the beauty of flight and the symphony of singing birds create an unforgettable experience for all who venture here.

SUMMARY:Woods and Woodcock Wander with Thirty\, Birdy & Thriving
DESCRIPTION:In birding\, March is a weird time. You’ve got winter species lingering while spring species are moving in. Trails can be muddy and lakes can be frozen. But one species is just the right kind of weird to shine in this season. \n  \nOur March Thirty\, Birdy & Thriving outing is both a woodcock walk\, and an observation of the species’ quirks. We’ll meet at Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve in Fishers at 6:30pm for some spring birding with a species checklist (that might include a few species that aren’t birds) in the wooded and wetland habitats.  \n  \nWe will then head to the Observation Deck in the grassland to wait for the Woodcocks to perform their courtship “sky dance”. Depending on where activity is\, we may wander to other trails along the grassland portion of the preserve for best viewing. \n  \nWe will meet near the picnic tables and cabin at the trailhead\, and several pairs of binoculars will be available for those who need them. Trail surfaces include rough gravel\, boardwalks\, and few dirt paths with roots/rocks. While gravel trails in grassland and swamp portions only have one incline\, there is greater variation in terrain in the forest habitat. We will traverse up to .75 miles at a slow pace with stopping to observe birds. There is opportunity to sit at the Observation Deck. \n  \nThe Thirty\, Birdy & Thriving group is designed for bird-lovers age 20-40\, as a space to observe birds with new friends from the Central Indiana community. To register\, email Olivia Bautch at falcon_515@outlook.com\, stating if you are a ABAS member or not. This program is limited to 20 participants and is free\, but pre-registration is required. ABAS members get priority registration until March 10\, but non-members should sign up early\, as once registration is open\, it is first come first serve. \n  \nWhat: Spring Woods and Woodcock Wander with Thirty\, Birdy & Thriving \nWhen: Friday\, March 20\, 2026 from 6:30-8:30 pm \nWhere: Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve \nRegister: falcon_515@outlook.com
