Cool Creek Park & Ritchey Woods

We'll be joining the Amos Butler Audubon Society and expert birder Keith Starling on their weekly visit to Cool Creek Park in Hamilton County, an outstanding central Indiana location for spotting migrating passerines, including warblers. After a couple hours of birding we'll gather in the Nature Center for donuts and coffee and put a list together.

Afterwards we will head over to Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve located at 10410 Hague Rd, Fishers, Indiana. The swamp trail and boardwalk may allow us to see even more migrating species. Bring a sack lunch and we'll picnic together at Ritchey Woods before heading home.

Cool Creek Park's address is 2000 151st St, Carmel. When you enter the park continue past the Nature Center, (follow the signs) and we'll meet in the north parking lot at 8:30 am. Hang to the right at the "Y" in the road where the restrooms are located and park in the lot there. Map with the lot circled can be found on the RCAS Website.
