Olivia Bautch, Editorial Chair for ABAS, is taking us back to Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve for a morning searching for migratory birds and summer breeders. This Fishers preserve boasts multiple quality habitats ranging from old-growth forest to swamp to prairie, making it a natural stopping place and breeding ground for sensitive species.   This field trip is limited to 10 participants and registration is required. Priority registration is available to ABAS members until April 1, but non-members should sign up early, as once registration is open, it is first come first serve.   We will meet near the picnic tables and cabin at the trailhead, and several pairs of binoculars will be available for those who need them. Trail surfaces include rough gravel, boardwalks, and dirt paths with roots/rocks. While gravel trails in grassland and swamp portions only have one incline, there is greater variation in terrain in the forest habitat. Our route will vary in length based on the species encountered.   When you sign up, please indicate if you are a member or not and include your phone number. The phone number is in case of needing to cancel due to weather. To register, email Laurie Voss at [email protected].    What: Ritchey Woods Spring Field Trip When: Saturday, May 16, 2026 from 8:00-10:00 am Where: Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve. 10410 Hague Rd, Fishers, IN 46038 Register: [email protected]
