SUMMARY:Wednesday Morning with the Birds at White River Bluffs 5.15
DESCRIPTION:Join an expert birder to go birdwatching in a nature preserve! \nCentral Indiana Land Trust’s nature preserves offer a safe harbor for countless bird species. We’re teaming up with expert birder Rob Ripma\, co-owner of Sabrewing Nature Tours\, for this series. This is a rare chance to enjoy guided birding tours of our region’s most biodiverse places. Join us in searching for migratory birds and year-round avian residents. We will likely train our binoculars on waterbirds\, orioles\, bluebirds\, flycatchers\, raptors\, migratory warblers—and many more. \nWe’ll visit a variety of nature preserves\, exploring woodlands\, meadows\, streams\, and river frontage managed by Central Indiana Land Trust. \nAll are welcome\, including people with no birding experience. The best way to get started is to go with a seasoned guide like Rob. \nAll ages \nRSVP required \nWhat to Expect and Bring: \n\nEasy hike over a flat terrain trail.\nScope or binoculars. We will have a small quantity to share with the group.\nDress for the weather and be sure to wear pants thick enough to stand up to thorns\, brush\, poison ivy\, ticks\, and mosquitos (unfortunately leggings aren’t very protective).\nWear closed-toed shoes that can stand up to mud.\nNo restrooms available on site.\nIn case of inclement weather\, check email for updates.\n\nMore Information: \nRob Ripma and Sabrewing Nature Tours: sabrewingtours.com/guides/ \n“I’ve been birding in Indiana since I was a teenager and can say without a doubt that there’s no more thrilling time to birdwatch in our state than during spring migration. During the month of May\, the pace of migration picks up\, and there are new and amazing things to see every day. CILTI properties and other local natural areas are stopover sites that are critical to birds’ ability to feed and prepare for their next flight north.” –Rob Ripma\, in “The Greatest Spectacle in Birding\,” written for our spring 2021 newsmagazine \nDirections: \nWhite River Bluffs Nature Preserve is located adjacent to Highland Golf and Country Club. Parking is by the tennis courts to the north of the club house. Our staff will meet you there. See attached map.
