Cope Environmental Center Spring Birding Trip

Join Indiana Audubon for a great spring morning of birding among the newest sites on the Indiana Birding Trail. Both Cope Environmental Center offers excellent opportunities to connect with nature in eastern Indiana.

By this date we should be in the full swing of spring warbler migration, with many flycatchers, vireos, and warblers to find. The goal this morning is to explore the many songs and bright colors among the sometimes tricky IDs of these temporary visitors on their way north to the boreal forest. Expect a variety of habitats to maximize our birding.

This field trip, led by Cope Program Coordinator Jeremy Proeschel will start at 8 a.m. ET at Cope Environmental Center. The total time is around 4 hours, finishing before lunch.

Registration is required and limited to 20 participants. Event tickets are $5 per person for Indiana Audubon members and $15 per person for non-members.

This excursion includes a several walks of .25-1 mile distances within the Cope Environmental Center. Most trails will be hard packed soil, but not paved. The building is accessible.
