Owl Prowl

Nina Mason Pulliam EcoLab 3200 Cold Spring Road, Indianapolis, IN, United States

Come out to enjoy an evening hike to look for owls and see the handiwork of our resident beaver colony! We’ll start with a hike at dusk, do some owl calling, and look for owls and other winter wildlife.

Event Series Winter Lakefront Field Trip

Winter Lakefront Field Trip

Meet at Dick's Sporting Goods 6030 West 86th Street, Indianapolis, IN, United States

Join Scott Enochs as he leads you to the Indiana Lake Michigan lakeshore in search of wintering gulls, waterfowl, and any vagrants that may be in the area. We will spend the morning and early afternoon visiting various sites around the Indiana lakeshore. Little time will be spent hiking, though some hiking terrain would be considered moderate to rugged. Most of time will be spent travelling to as many sites as possible to scan the lake. Some stops may require travelling on toll roads. Depending on weather conditions, an evening stop to Kankakee Sands could be added to the trip. In that event, we will break for lunch in the Gary/Chesterton area.

Trivia for the Birds!

Ash & Elm Cider Co. 1301 East Washington Street, Indianapolis, IN, United States

Come to Ash & Elm Cider Co. to test out your birding knowledge with our resident birder, Wesley Homoya! He's back from his world travels and we are celebrating with a night of birder trivia! Prizes available with purchase and play. A portion of the sales will be donated to the Amos Butler Audubon Society.

The Road to 1000!

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

By today’s birding standards, a goal of seeing 1000 species of birds seems somewhat trivial. But to some people, it’s a big goal!  With a family of 5 children, a full-time salaried job, and all of the full-time tasks that go along with it, getting to the goal has been no easy task.  Join speaker Chad Williams as he takes you on a brief journey through some of his travels in the U.S., Mexico, Central and South America.
