October Big Day – Oxbow Nature Conservancy

Celebrate fall migration at land trust properties across Indiana while contributing to a global day of citizen science.
Participating in October Big Day means you’re part of a global birding celebration that fuels migration research and conservation. Spend a fall morning exploring Indiana Land Protection Alliance (ILPA) member land trust properties, discover a new birding destination, and add your bird observations—counts, photos, or audio—to a worldwide effort in citizen science.

WHAT TO EXPECT
All hikes begin at 9 a.m. in each location’s respective time zone and last about two hours at a relaxed birding pace. Most hikes cover around 1.5 miles, though some may be shorter. Participants should dress for the weather and bring their own binoculars. Cameras are welcome but optional, so bring whatever helps you enjoy the morning!
