SUMMARY:Climate Watch: Grab Your Binoculars—Birds Need Your Help!
DESCRIPTION:Grab Your binoculars—Birds Need Your help! \nWhat’s even better than watching birds? Knowing you’ve done something meaningful to protect them. Join Climate Watch\, and you’ll be doing both! As the impacts of climate change continue to unfold\, nearly two- thirds of all North American bird species could struggle to adapt. When you participate in Audubon’s newest community science project\, you’ll give Audubon scientists vital data on how birds are faring now—which guides our most effective conservation work to help them adapt. \nJoin the summer survey team on Saturday\, June 8 from 8:30 am to11:30 am. Our official meeting location is the River Road Park in Carmel\, IN.  We will split up the specific survey locations depending on the number of participants. The more participants we have\, the more survey area we can monitor! \nGet ready to count the bluebirds\, nuthatches\, goldfinches\, towhees\, or Painted Buntings you see. And know that\nyou’re an important part of protecting birds and the places they need. \nRSVP or send any questions to Audrey Cooper\, ABAS Board Member and Conservation\nChair. For more information on Climate Watch\, contact Chandler Bryant\, ABAS Board Member and Climate Watch\nChapter Coordinator. \nAudrey Cooper – audreyacooper@gmail.com\nChandler Bryant – Chandlersbryant@gmail.com \nSource: National Audubon Society’s Climate Watch webpage \nCoordinator Resources for Climate Watch | Audubon

DESCRIPTION:If you need an incentive to get outside in mid-winter\, join Chuck Anderson\, ABAS Field Trip chair and President\, as he leads you to three local parks in conjunction with the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) worldwide event. At each park\, we will record the species and number of all birds seen and submit that list to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology via eBird. To get more information on the GBBC\, go to birdcount.org. \nWe will meet at 9:00 am in the parking lot at River Heritage Park\, 11813 River Road\, Carmel. From there we will caravan to Founders Park\, and then Meadowlark Park\, our final stop. Heated indoor restrooms are available at Founders Park and Meadowlark Park. Participants will be notified in advance if there are any changes to the itinerary. \nDonuts will be provided before the start of the bird hike.  Make sure you dress appropriately for the weather conditions and don’t forget your binoculars. \nThe field trip is free but limited to 10 participants\, and registration is required. Priority registration is available to ABAS members through February 3\, 2024.  After that date\, if any open spots remain\, non-members may register. To sign up\, email Chuck Anderson at chucka1999@aol.com or text Chuck at (317) 767-5438. \n  \nPhoto courtesy of Chuck Anderson.

SUMMARY:Climate Watch
DESCRIPTION:Grab your binoculars—Birds need your help! \nWhat’s even better than watching birds? Knowing you’ve done something meaningful to protect them. \nJoin Climate Watch\, and you’ll be doing both! \n  \nAs the impacts of climate change continue to unfold\, nearly two-thirds of all North American bird \nspecies could struggle to adapt. When you participate in Audubon’s newest community science project\, \nyou’ll give Audubon scientists vital data on how birds are faring now—which guides our most effective \nconservation work to help them adapt. \n  \nJoin the winter survey at Strawtown Koteewi Park on Saturday\, January 27th at 9am. We will meet at the Taylor Center of Natural History (12308 Strawtown Ave\, Noblesville\, 46060) and divide up survey locations around the park. Get ready to count the bluebirds\, nuthatches\, goldfinches\, towhees\, or Painted Buntings you see. And know that you’re an important part of protecting birds and the places they need. \nContact Chandler Bryant\, Amos Butler Audubon Society Board Member and local Climate Watch Coordinator\, to RSVP to this survey event or for more information on Climate Watch with Amos Butler Audubon Society. \nYou can also register by clicking HERE \nChandler Bryant – Chandlersbryant@gmail.com \n  \nSource: National Audubon Society’s Climate Watch webpage: https://www.audubon.org/news/coordinator-resources-climate-watch

SUMMARY:Coyotes with Gerrian Albers\, Indiana Department of Natural Resources
DESCRIPTION:Coyotes illicit a range of emotions in people. They are native to Indiana and have an interesting history in the state\, but their populations were very low for a long time\, giving many the perception we didn’t have coyotes for many decades. Coyotes are adept at living in all types of habitats\, including urban areas\, and this has allowed them to thrive in Indiana. Join Indiana’s furbearer biologist as she talks about all things coyote.
