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.

SUMMARY:Yellowwood State Forest Spring Migration Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join experienced bird hike leader Matthias Benko for a morning of birding at Yellowwood State Forest. Matthias launched Bloomington Birders\, a small birding club\, on the campus of Indiana University in 2020. He collaborated with Audubon Great Lakes to register Bloomington Birders as an official Audubon on Campus Chapter. This fall\, students at IU Bloomington “flocked” to join the birding club. \nYellowwood State Forest is a prime nesting location for warblers such as Worm-eating\, Kentucky\, Hooded and more. Other migrants should also be plentiful at this time of year. We’ll meet at T.C. Steele Historic Site at 4220 T.C Steele Road\, Nashville at 8:00am. Restrooms are available at this location. We’ll caravan from there to different locations. \nRegistration for this event is limited to 10 participants. The field trip is free but prior registration is required. Early registration is available to ABAS members until April 29 at which time non-members may register if there are any spots open. To register\, email Chuck Anderson at chucka1999@aol.com or text Chuck at 317-767-5438. \nAs always\, dress appropriately for the weather and don’t forget your binoculars. \nWorm-Eating Warbler photo courtesy of Chuck Anderson.
