SUMMARY:Ritchey Woods Spring Migration Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Olivia Bautch\, Editorial Chair for ABAS\, is taking us back to Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve for a morning searching for migratory birds and summer breeders. This Fishers preserve boasts multiple quality habitats ranging from old-growth forest to swamp to prairie\, making it a natural stopping place and breeding ground for sensitive species. \n  \nThis field trip is limited to 10 participants and registration is required. Priority registration is available to ABAS members until April 1\, but non-members should sign up early\, as once registration is open\, it is first come first serve. \n  \nWe will meet near the picnic tables and cabin at the trailhead\, and several pairs of binoculars will be available for those who need them. Trail surfaces include rough gravel\, boardwalks\, and dirt paths with roots/rocks. While gravel trails in grassland and swamp portions only have one incline\, there is greater variation in terrain in the forest habitat. Our route will vary in length based on the species encountered. \n  \nWhen you sign up\, please indicate if you are a member or not and include your phone number. The phone number is in case of needing to cancel due to weather. To register\, email Laurie Voss at laurievoss25@gmail.com.  \n  \nWhat: Ritchey Woods Spring Field Trip \nWhen: Saturday\, May 16\, 2026 from 8:00-10:00 am \nWhere: Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve. 10410 Hague Rd\, Fishers\, IN 46038 \nRegister: laurievoss25@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Woods and Woodcock Wander with Thirty\, Birdy & Thriving
DESCRIPTION:In birding\, March is a weird time. You’ve got winter species lingering while spring species are moving in. Trails can be muddy and lakes can be frozen. But one species is just the right kind of weird to shine in this season. \n  \nOur March Thirty\, Birdy & Thriving outing is both a woodcock walk\, and an observation of the species’ quirks. We’ll meet at Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve in Fishers at 6:30pm for some spring birding with a species checklist (that might include a few species that aren’t birds) in the wooded and wetland habitats.  \n  \nWe will then head to the Observation Deck in the grassland to wait for the Woodcocks to perform their courtship “sky dance”. Depending on where activity is\, we may wander to other trails along the grassland portion of the preserve for best viewing. \n  \nWe will meet near the picnic tables and cabin at the trailhead\, and several pairs of binoculars will be available for those who need them. Trail surfaces include rough gravel\, boardwalks\, and few dirt paths with roots/rocks. While gravel trails in grassland and swamp portions only have one incline\, there is greater variation in terrain in the forest habitat. We will traverse up to .75 miles at a slow pace with stopping to observe birds. There is opportunity to sit at the Observation Deck. \n  \nThe Thirty\, Birdy & Thriving group is designed for bird-lovers age 20-40\, as a space to observe birds with new friends from the Central Indiana community. To register\, email Olivia Bautch at falcon_515@outlook.com\, stating if you are a ABAS member or not. This program is limited to 20 participants and is free\, but pre-registration is required. ABAS members get priority registration until March 10\, but non-members should sign up early\, as once registration is open\, it is first come first serve. \n  \nWhat: Spring Woods and Woodcock Wander with Thirty\, Birdy & Thriving \nWhen: Friday\, March 20\, 2026 from 6:30-8:30 pm \nWhere: Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve \nRegister: falcon_515@outlook.com
