SUMMARY:ABAS Goose Pond FWA Field Trip
DESCRIPTION: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. \nOur primary focus will be on dabbling and diving ducks. Additionally\, geese\, cranes\, American White Pelicans\, and shorebird species may be possible. We will primarily bird from the roads and parking areas and may take brief hikes along the levees if the situation warrants. Good water-resistant boots are advisable for this trip. Due to the distances that can be involved in surveying this property\, bring a spotting scope if you have one on hand. However\, scopes will be available to share. \nIf time allows and there is interest\, we may also visit the Beehunter Marsh units adjacent to Goose Pond as well as the Dugger Unit of the Greene-Sullivan State Forest\, located a few miles to the northwest. We will meet at 7 a.m. in the Target parking lot at 10209 E. US 36 (Rockville Road) in Avon\, just west of the Ronald Reagan Parkway. Participants should bring snacks and drinks if desired\, as we will not be going into town\nfor lunch. We can expect to be back around 3 p.m. Contact Mark at mwelter521@yahoo.com if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:Bubbly Birder Big Year
DESCRIPTION:In 2017\, Amy Hodson set out on an Indiana Big Year with the goal of seeing 300 species of birds in the state\, and to catalog her adventures along the way via the “Bubbly Birder” Facebook page.  By the end of the year\, Amy was the first female in Indiana to log 300 species of birds in a single year. \n\nWhat bird could be found by wading through waist-high flood water from the Wabash River?\nWhat FIRST state record was found at a feeder a mere 10 minutes from home?\nWhat did her first EVER lake watch trip to Lake Michigan provide?\nWhat birds should she have gotten but didn’t? And why?\nWhat were the 10 lifers she picked up along the way?\n\nJoin Amy during this program 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!
