Woodcock Walk – West Park

West Park 2700 W 116th St, Carmel, IN, United States

Bubbly Birder Big Year

Holliday Park Nature Center 6363 Spring Mill Road, Indianapolis, IN, United States

Join ABAS Board member Amy Hodson as she shares stories from a whirlwind of a year that got her to 302 species as well as the highlights, the misses, and the stories in between. This program will be conversational, so bring your questions and we will see you there!

Waterfowl ID Workshop

Eagle Creek Park Ornithology Center 6515 Delong Road, Indianapolis, IN, United States

Join ABAS Education Chair and waterfowl enthusiast Jessica Helmbold for a crash course on Indiana's Waterfowl. After the course, we will have lunch in the park and explore Eagle Creek Reservoir for waterfowl. Then in following weekends, weather dependent, we will make excursions to Muscatatuck NWR and Goose Pond for further study. Details about the two additional field trip opportunities will be emailed to workshop participants, posted on our Facebook page, and posted on the ABAS web site. You may join us just for the lecture, any of the field trips, or all events. For details, contact jessica.helmbold@indy.gov. RSVPs are appreciated, though not required.

ABAS Goose Pond FWA Field Trip

Goose Pond Area - Meet at Target 10209 E. US 36, Avon, IN, United States

Join Mark Welter for a trip to Goose Pond FWA in search of waterfowl. Located in Greene County just south of the town of Linton, Goose Pond’s 8000+ acres represent Indiana’s largest and most successful habitat restoration project. Since its completion in 2008, Goose Pond has been a magnet for migrating waterfowl, waders, shorebirds, and songbirds. Mid-March can be expected to produce an interesting mix of lingering winter birds and early Spring arrivals.
