Bird Walks in the Nina Mason Pulliam EcoLab
Nina Mason Pulliam EcoLab 3200 Cold Spring Road, IndianapolisThe Nina Mason Pulliam EcoLab is a wonderful place to bird watch, with over 165 different species sightings being recorded since 2002. No experience is necessary, and the hike will be led by one of the bird experts at Marian. The only things that are necessary are binoculars and a little bit of patience! We will meet at the St. Francis colonnade just west of Allison Mansion on the Marian campus at 8:00 am every Wednesday during March and April (excluding March 13), and will head into the EcoLab shortly after. Bring water to drink and wear comfortable shoes. No reservation is required.

Nina Mason Pulliam EcoLab Night Hike
Nina Mason Pulliam EcoLab 3200 Cold Spring Road, IndianapolisCome out to the Nina Mason Pulliam EcoLab to enjoy an evening hike looking for frogs, owls, and to see the handiwork of the resident beaver colony. We’ll start with a hike at dusk, looking and listening for the elaborate aerial displays and calls of the woodcock that reside in the EcoLab, do some owl calling, and look for other signs of early spring wildlife activity. We’ll learn about beaver adaptations and the role of beavers in wetlands, and will learn some really cool facts about owls too. All ages welcome and encouraged!
