SUMMARY:The Road to 1000!
DESCRIPTION:By today’s birding standards\, a goal of seeing 1000 species of birds seems somewhat trivial. But to some people\, it’s a big goal!  With a family of 5 children\, a full-time salaried job\, and all of the full-time tasks that go along with it\, getting to the goal has been no easy task.  Join speaker Chad Williams as he takes you on a brief journey through some of his travels in the U.S.\, Mexico\, Central America\, and South America. \nChad Williams has been actively birding since 2007 and has been interested in birds since the 5th grade.  He loves nature and loves to promote the enthusiasm of birds and nature to others.  He is the adult Chair of the Indiana Young Birders Club and is currently on the board of the Amos Butler Audubon Society.  In addition to birding\, Chad grows and sells Carnivorous Plants and Orchids.  He is married to Carrie and has 5 children and 2 granddaughters.

SUMMARY:Banding Saw-whet Owls in the Indiana Dunes!
DESCRIPTION:Join speaker Brad Bumgardner\, the Executive Director for the Indiana Adubon Society and previously an interpretive naturalist for the Indiana State Parks\, for our November program. \nThe Indiana Dunes began banding owls as part of Project Owlnet in 2009. The area is a gateway for migrating owls traveling along the shores of Lake Michigan and into the rest of Indiana. Since its inception\, the volunteers and staff have banded hundreds of migrating Saw-whet Owls. More impressively\, the banding station at Indiana Dunes serves as one of the largest sites for public education and viewing due to the facilities near the banding sites. Learn about the secretive migration and opportunities to view Saw-whet Owls in the Indiana Dunes.

SUMMARY:Naughty by Nature
DESCRIPTION:Join Amanda Smith\, Superintendent of Natural Resources & Education of Hamilton County Parks\, for our September program – Naughty by Nature. \nOut in the elements\, birders and outdoorsy folks often encounter some of the not-so-wonderful aspects of nature such as poison ivy\, nettles\, snakes\, chiggers\, and spiders. \nMore often than not\, myths and falsities abound. The fears and misconceptions about these “perceived” naughty natural things keep people from getting outside or making the right decisions about how to manage them\, but just an ounce of knowledge can help fight fear of the unknown. \nThis evening program will include an interactive presentation to engage the audience with myth-busting\, and will include opportunities to share experiences and solutions.

SUMMARY:Regional "Big Day" of Birding
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder what birds are spending their days in ABAS’s region? We’re seeking to answer that question and need your help to do so. We are calling on birders of all skill levels in Boone\, Marion\, Hendricks\, Hamilton\, Hancock\, Johnson\, Shelby and northern Morgan counties to “count the birds”. This can be as simple as counting the birds at your feeder\, to spending a couple of hours walking your favorite park\, or spending the entire day searching the entire region. On this day\, we will be counting the different species and the number of individuals of each species. \nThere are no organized groups at this point\, but if you are interested in leading a walk or a group in your area on this day\, please contact Scott Enochs so he could put people in touch with you. We will only be counting birds in the areas listed above. Scott can be reached at 317-850-4801\, or by email at msenochs@comcast.net. Interested participants are requested to contact Scott to let him know the area(s) you are interested in birding. Once the day is complete\, all participants will be requested to send to send their checklists to Scott for compilation. Have fun!

SUMMARY:Goose Pond Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join Mark Welter for a trip to Goose Pond FWA in search of waterfowl. Located in Greene County just south of the town of Linton\, Goose Pond’s 8000+ acres represent Indiana’s largest and most successful habitat restoration project. Since its completion in 2008\, Goose Pond has been a magnet for migrating waterfowl\, waders\, shorebirds and songbirds. Late March can be expected to produce an interesting mix of lingering winter birds and early Spring arrivals. Our primary focus will be on dabbling and diving ducks. Additionally geese\, cranes\, American White Pelicans and shorebird species may be possible. \nWe will primarily be birding from the roads and parking areas\, and may take brief hikes along the levees if the situation warrants. Good water-resistant boots are advisable for this. Due to the distances that can be involved in surveying this property\, bring a spotting scope if you have one. If you don’t\, there will be scopes to share. Additionally\, small two-way radios to facilitate communication among vehicles while traveling would also be beneficial. \nIf time allows and there is interest\, we may also visit the Beehunter Marsh units adjacent to Goose Pond\, as well as the Dugger Unit of the Greene-Sullivan State Forest\, located a few miles to the northwest. We will meet at 7 a.m. in the Target parking lot at 10209 E. US 36 (Rockville Road) in Avon\, just west of the Ronald Reagan Parkway. Participants should bring snacks and drinks if desired\, as we will not be going into town for lunch. We can expect to be back around 3 p.m. Contact Mark at mwelter521@yahoo.com if you have any questions. \n
