Garfield Park Urban Bird Walks

Garfield Park Conservatory 2432 Conservatory Dr, Indianapolis, IN, United States

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

Fort Harrison State Park Fall Migration Walks

Fort Harrison State Park 6000 North Post Rd, Indianapolis, IN, United States

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).

Bird Walks in the Nina Mason Pulliam EcoLab

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

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.
