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
