  • Dawn to Dusk: Two Young Birders’ Take on a Big Day

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

    Last spring, five young birders took on a grueling 24-hour competition known as a Big Day. Hyped up on Red Bull and various forms of carbohydrates, the group logged 151 species despite birding on April 30, an early date during migration. Although it poured most of the day, these young birders were still able to find birds such as Chuck-will’s-widow, Black-bellied Whistling-Duck, Wilson’s Phalarope, and Barn Owl. Join Matthias Benko and Ceth Williams at Holliday Park for an account of their day, from midnight to midnight.

  • Spring Migrant & Warbler Walk at Eagle Creek Park

Eagle Creek Park is one of the best birding locations in the Indianapolis area, and provides great habitat for warblers, vireos, tanagers and flycatchers. The group will meet at the Eagle Creek Marina. We will move to other locations within the park pending the bird activity that morning. There is a $5 per car fee to enter the park if you do not hold a year park pass.
