SUMMARY:Birding Belize: It’s UnBELIEZEable! - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:David Rupp\, owner of IndiGo Birding Nature Tours in Bloomington\, will give a presentation about birding in Belize\, an emerging destination in Central America. David fell in love with Belize on his first visit and has led multiple birding tours to Belize since. The presentation will feature photos from recent tour participants as well as from Belizean photographers. \nBelize is only the size of Massachusetts but has a bird list of nearly 600 species. From 22 species of hummingbirds to the Ocellated Turkey\, Belize offers birds of all shapes\, sizes\, and colors. The combination of tropical birding and a diverse and fascinating culture make Belize appealing for all levels of birders. As a bonus\, the people are super-friendly and the food is delicious! \nDavid will introduce you to the different regions of the country\, some unique birds you can find\, and give some examples of the variety of lodging that could fit a tight budget or provide a luxurious experience. David hopes to be joined via Zoom by his friend Isaias Morataya\, guide extraordinaire at Black Rock Lodge and the #3 eBirder in Belize\, who will share some of his passion for birding and answer questions as well. \nDavid is a former board member of both ABAS and the Sassafras Audubon Society and began his career as a naturalist in the Indy Parks system. \nThis will be an online program using Zoom. Participants will register using Eventbrite and there will be a limit of 90. To register go to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/birding-belize-its-unbeliezeable-tickets-138804284351. Once we are close to the program date\, you will receive an email with an invite to a Zoom meeting. \nPhoto courtesy of David Rupp.

SUMMARY:Smith’s Longspur Field Trip – Lye Creek Prairie Burn – FULL
DESCRIPTION:Join Indiana birder and photographer Shari McCollough on a field trip to the Lye Creek Prairie Burn\, aka “The Burn”\, in search of migrating Smith’s Longspurs. The Burn is located in Montgomery County and is the most reliable place for viewing Smith’s Longspurs in Indiana. We may be joined by Clint Murray who owns the property and manages it specifically for the Longspurs and other birds. \nThe field trip is limited to 12 participants and registration is required. Local ABAS members can register prior to March 17th after which time\, if there are spots available\, anyone may register. To register email Chuck Anderson at chucka1999@aol.com or text Chuck at (317) 767-5438.\n\nThe wearing of masks is required but may be relaxed at times at the discretion of the hike leader if we can maintain social distancing.\n\nThe Burn is on County Road 650 N in Montgomery County in the general area of Crawfordsville. To get there from I74 take the US 231 exit and go north just under 3 miles to County Road 550 N. Take a right on County Road 550 N for just over a mile to County Road 150 E. Take a left on County Road 150 E and continue to County Road 650 N. Take a right on County Road 650 N for less than a mile to The Burn which will be on the right. The address given is approximate. These GPS coordinates might be helpful: 40.135048\, -86.863575.\n\nPhoto of Smith’s Longspur courtesy of Amy Hodson.

SUMMARY:Newfields Bird Hike
DESCRIPTION:Join ABAS at The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park at Newfields for bird hikes on this beautiful property along the White River and Central Canal. The hikes will be led by ABAS President Rob Ripma. \nMeet at the free parking at the loop just ¼ mile west of the 38th Street entrance to Newfields. The address given for this event is approximate. You’ll need to be heading west on 38th Street to enter the loop parking area. Take the White River Pkwy East exit. \nThe hike is free and open to the public. Registration is requested by emailing us at info@amosbutleraudubon.org. \nDepending on the rules at the time\, masks will likely be required for most of the hike. There may be times we can spread out and take a quick break from the masks. Check the ABAS calendar to be sure the hike isn’t canceled. \n  \nAbout Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park: 100 Acres\nOn one hundred acres along the west side of Newfields\, just east of White River\, you’ll find Fairbanks Park. Explore woodlands\, wetlands\, meadows\, and the shoreline of a 35-acre lake. It’s one of the largest museum art parks in the country\, and unlike most\, continues to commission temporary\, site-responsive artworks. \nAs a former farm and later gravel quarry\, Fairbanks Park has a history of disturbance that has resulted in a mix of early successional woodlands\, some mature woodlands\, wetlands\, and a lake. This habitat diversity has created a property with the ability to host niche species of several different habitat types. Newfields strives to maintain that habitat diversity by invasive species removal and planting of Indiana native plant species in all areas of the Park. \nRecent additions include a nesting platform built to attract birds of prey\, a wild grass labyrinth\, and a variety of bird feeding and viewing stations.

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. \nDepending on the rules at the time\, masks will likely be required for most of the hike. There may be times we can spread out and take a quick break from the masks. Check the ABAS calendar to be sure the hike isn’t canceled.

SUMMARY:Examining the Ecological Consequences of Climate Change through Phenology
DESCRIPTION:Join Amanda Cantrell\, a Board Member of Indiana Phenology for our March program. Phenology is the study of the timing of recurring plant and animal life cycle stages\, such as leafing\, flowering\, and fruiting in plants and migration and reproduction in animals.  These changes are driven by climate and other abiotic factors and govern how living organisms interact with each other and even the cycling of water\, carbon\, and other elements within local and global ecosystems. \nOur climate is warming at an unprecedented rate due to human activities such as the production and burning of fossil fuels.  In this presentation\, we will explore how changes in phenology\, such as earlier Spring leafing and flowering or insect emergence driven by warming temperatures\, can be indicators of climate change’s impact on ecosystems and help elucidate downstream effects on abundance\, diversity\, and the interaction of species.  You will also learn how you as a citizen scientist can help track these changes through phenology observation to build a local dataset useful to scientists\, policymakers\, land managers\, and conservationists to mitigate and adapt to climate change. \nThis will be an online program using Zoom. Participants will register using Eventbrite and there will be a limit of 90. To register go to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/examining-the-ecological-consequences-of-climate-change-through-phenology-tickets-138299099329. Once we are close to the program date\, you will receive an email with an invite to a Zoom meeting.

SUMMARY:Woodcock Walk - Carmel West Park
DESCRIPTION:Join Chuck Anderson\, ABAS Field Trip Chair\, for a trip to West Park in Carmel. Listen for the “peenting” sounds of a male woodcock as it attempts to court a female during the mating season. Watch the male perform an aerial display and listen to the sound of its twittering wings as it tries to attract a female. \nWe’ll be stationary with little walking required.  Dress appropriately for the weather. We’ll meet at 6:30 pm at the Jill Perelman Pavilion located at 3000 W 116th St\, Carmel\, IN 46032\, 200 yards west of the West Park entrance. The gate to West Park will be closed. We will then walk over to West Park where the American Woodcocks will be displaying. \nRegistration is not required.  Text Chuck at (317) 767-5438 if you have any questions. \nDepending on the rules at the time\, masks will likely be required for most of the hike. There may be times we can spread out and take a quick break from the masks. Check the ABAS calendar to be sure the hike isn’t canceled.
