Big Day Hike @ Lydick Bog
Celebrate fall migration with Shirley Heinze while contributing to a global day of citizen science!
October Big Day is a global event that unites people worldwide in a shared passion for birds, sparking a movement to observe, celebrate, and protect our feathered friends. Founded by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, this 24-hour event challenges bird enthusiasts to spot as many species as possible, generating vital data on bird migration and inspiring a deeper appreciation for both resident and migratory species. Indiana Audubon and Indiana Land Protection Alliance (ILPA) will host Big Day events featuring land trusts and nature preserves throughout the state. The Lydick Bog hike will be guided by Jim Spier.
