SUMMARY:Climate Watch Indianapolis 2026
DESCRIPTION:Grab your binoculars—Birds need your help! \nWhat’s even better than watching birds? Knowing you’ve done something meaningful to protect them. Sign up now for Climate Watch\, and you’ll be doing both! \nAs 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 ABAS survey team in late January 2026 (date and time TBA. Get ready to count the bluebirds\, nuthatches\, goldfinches\, and towhees you see. And know that you’re an important part of protecting birds and the places they need. \nContact Conservation Chair Pat Stutz at Pat.Stutz@indy.gov to register and for more information on how to participate in Climate Watch with Amos Butler Audubon Society.

SUMMARY:Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC)
DESCRIPTION:Join hike leader Becky Heck for the Great Backyard Bird Count which is a citizen science initiative that takes place over four days in February.

The first is Hazel Landing Park\, a mixed woodland and grassland area where the prairies could be good for hawks and sparrows.

And finally\, the caravan will go to Founders Park which has a pond and more grasslands. \n  \nThe event will run from 8:30 am to 11:00 am. Participants will meet at Hazel Landing Park located at 10601 Hazel Dell Pkwy\, Carmel\, IN 46033. Be sure to dress for the weather. \n  \nThere is a limit of 10 participants\, and ABAS members will get priority until January 14.

SUMMARY:Shari McCollough\, caretaker of the Lye Creek Prairie Burn
DESCRIPTION:Join Shari McCollough\, owner and caretaker of the Lye Creek Prairie Burn nestled in northeastern Montgomery County\, for a presentation on this remarkable 83-acre sanctuary which serves as a haven for both migratory and nesting birds. This rich tapestry of wetlands and prairie grasses is an ideal stopover for weary travelers\, where birds can forage\, preen\, bathe\, and find a much-needed respite before continuing their arduous journeys.  Since its establishment in 2008\, this thriving habitat has welcomed an impressive 240 documented bird species. Among these winged visitors\, we’ve had some amazing rarities such as Yellow Rail\, Cinnamon Teal\, and\, most recently\, two Eurasian Tree Sparrows. Each day at Lye Creek Prairie Burn unfolds like a captivating chapter in nature’s story\, where the beauty of flight and the symphony of singing birds create an unforgettable experience for all who venture here.
