The last of the fall migration bird walks at Ft Harrison State Park, Indianapolis, found 38 species on October 26th. Highlights included a Cooper's Hawk chasing a Belted Kingfisher unsuccessfully over Delaware Lake, two large flocks of migrating cormorants, Blue-headed Vireo, two Red-breasted Nuthatches, and an Orange-crowned Warbler. The complete list is below.
Many thanks to all who joined me on the walks in 2025. Walks will be held on Sunday mornings in April and May 2026.
