This Christmas Bird Count covers the northeast corner of Indianapolis with its center point in Fort Harrison State Park. Our birding teams will gather for lunch at a nearby restaurant to tally our morning count total. If needed teams may cover additional areas after lunch.

For this Christmas Bird Count meet at the Eagle Creek Park Ornithology Center to pick up  an information packet for your assigned area before heading out to bird. The Ornithology Center will open at 8:00 a.m. A pitch-in lunch for all participants will be held there at noon to tally the bird count and to reorganize groups to head back outside to cover additional areas if needed. Please register by December 13 so that birding teams can be formed and count plans made in advance. Contact Will Schaust at (317) 327-2473 or william.schaust@indy.gov.
