Join us for a relaxing and fun filled morning as we explore the amazing habitats of Brookville Lake. On this trip we will visit some of my favorite birding locations around the lake and we will visit all the State Park properties! The Brookville Lake area covers over 16,000 acres of land with 11,000 acres available to the public. The land is made up of various habitats, from large upland forests to open successional woods and prairies. The lake stretches over 5260 acres and passes through two counties. Due to the large lake and vast forests surrounding it, this is one of the greatest locations in eastern Indiana to see migrating waterfowl, neotropical migrants, and generalist’s species. Our targets for this trip will be any bird species we can find but some highlighted families will be Warblers, Vireos, Cuckoos, Flycatchers, Tanger’s, Raptors, Shorebirds, Terns, Herons, and late migrating waterfowl. As we travel through the various ecosystems and locations we will learn about the importance these places are for birds, humans, and our surrounding ecosystems. We will practice identifying birds by sound, watching their flight styles, looking for key colors and body sizes, and what areas in the habitat they are most likely to be.
