Bird Walks in the Nina Mason Pulliam EcoLab

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

The Nina Mason Pulliam EcoLab is a wonderful place to bird watch, with over 165 different species sightings being recorded since 2002. No experience is necessary, and the hike will be led by one of the bird experts at Marian. The only things that are necessary are binoculars and a little bit of patience! We will meet at the St. Francis statue just west of the Allison Mansion on the Marian campus at 8:00 am every Wednesday starting September 3 and ending November 17. Bring water to drink and wear comfortable shoes. No reservation is required.
