Teter Retreat and Organic Farm Recap
On September 17, 2022, eight birders gathered at 8:00 am at Teter Retreat and Organic Farm in Noblesville for a morning of birding. Earlier this year towards the end of April, several ABAS volunteers partnered with members from the Indiana Wildlife Federation and volunteers from Teter Retreat to canvass the 120-acre property and identify the bird species present. We were so impressed with the diversity of vegetation that we scheduled an ABAS fall field trip there to coincide with the fall bird migration.
