Indianapolis in April or May 2026

Post by Charlie Spencer »

I see there are guided bird walks at Eagle Creek and Ft. Ben Harrison every Sunday. Since they conflict and I can only do one, any recommendations either way?

And the same question regarding Saturday walks at Cool Creek (north of town) and Brandywine Park (east).

Thanks.

56 species total over 8 days (4 of them travel days). 14 first of year.

45 Indiana firsts, mostly from Lake Lemon near Bloomington and from a bird walk at Eagle Creek Park in Indy. 7 West Virginia and 4 Virginia firsts from walking around hotels at the end of the day.

Added first checklists for Ohio and Kentucky. Yeah, Incidentals out the window and at a rest area, but still...
