Marion Co

Garfield Park, while being a very urban park, is a sanctuary for wildlife. Join a park naturalist on a walk through the park in search of birds. Even if you have never been on a bird walk before or consider yourself an expert birder, this program is for everyone. Remember to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring binoculars. If you don’t have binoculars, a limited number will be available for use to anyone who needs them. Meet at the Conservatory entrance. Registration is required and there is a cost of $5 per person. To register, visit indy.gov/playindy

Join Don Gorney for his 20th year of leading fall bird walks at Ft. Harrison State Park. Fall migration is lively and full of warblers, raptors, sparrows, and other songbirds. During the walk Don will point out birds seen and heard and provide details on how to identify cryptic fall warblers, drab flycatchers, and LBJ’s (Little Brown Jobs, also known as sparrows).

Each Sunday year-round at Eagle Creek Park. Meet at 9:00 am at the Ornithology Center.

Come explore Southeastway Park during fall migration. Join Theresa Wilson every Monday in September and October. This is a family friendly, beginner to intermediate nature walk, weather permitting. Don’t forget bug spray and sunblock! Meet at the Nature Center at Southeastway Park. October locations may vary. For more information or to confirm the location email Theresa at tconwilson@gmail.com before the walk.

The Marian University Nina Mason Pulliam EcoLab is a wonderful place to bird watch, with over 165 different species sighted since 2000. The property contains a landscape designed by famous landscape architect Jens Jensen in 1911. The result of that design is a high quality natural area with lots of wetland, grassland, and lowland forest habitat. It’s a historical and ecological gem in the middle of the city! We will meet near the entrance to Allison Mansion at 8:00 a.m. every Wednesday. Parking is no trouble if you arrive just before 8:00 a.m. Bring binoculars and shoes that you don’t mind getting wet if it has rained recently.
