SUMMARY:Woodcock Walk – Daubenspeck Community Nature Park
DESCRIPTION:Join ABAS Board member Brian Cunningham for an evening walk at Daubenspeck Community Nature Park (DCNP)\, a great spot to view displaying American Woodcocks. \nWoodcocks have a very acrobatic mating display that they perform at dusk known as the sky dance. While waiting for woodcocks\, we will check the prairie and nearby woods for birds that may be going to roost in the park for the evening. \nWe will meet at 6:30 pm in the DCNP parking lot. The main trail of Daubenspeck is mowed\, but the ground can be somewhat uneven. \nRegistration is not required. This event is free and open to the public. \nPhoto courtesy of Amy Hodsen.

SUMMARY:Gulls & Waterfowl at the Lakefront
DESCRIPTION:Join experienced birders Eric and Tina Rosier as they lead you along the Indiana Lake Michigan lakeshore in search of wintering gulls\, waterfowl\, and any vagrants that may be in the area. Eric and Tina have been casual backyard birders for most of their adult lives\, but since 2017\, they’ve avidly been learning\, seeking\, and counting as many species as possible\, and recording those sightings on eBird. In 2020\, with help from the Indiana birding community\, they both joined the “Indiana 300 Club” by seeing over 300+ species in the state in a single calendar year. \nWe’ll meet at Washington Park Beach in Michigan City at 8:00 am local time (9:00 am EST). We will spend the morning and early afternoon visiting various sites around the Indiana lakeshore.  Little time will be spent hiking\, though some hiking terrain would be considered moderate to rugged.  Most of the time will be spent traveling to as many sites as possible to scan the lake. \nParticipants can expect to return to the Indianapolis area around 6:00 pm EST.  There will be a break for lunch in the Gary/Chesterton area. \nThe field trip is free but is limited to 12 participants and registration is required.  Priority registration is available to ABAS members through December 20\, 2021.  After that date\, if any open spots remain\, non-members may register. If you wish to carpool to Michigan City\, please make that known at the time of your registration and we’ll try to accommodate.  To reserve your spot on the field trip email Chuck Anderson at chucka1999@aol.com or text Chuck at (317) 767-5438. \nDress appropriately for the weather conditions. Don’t forget your binoculars and bring a scope if you have one. If you have any questions\, please email Chuck Anderson at chucka1999@aol.com. \nPhoto courtesy of Chuck Anderson.
