Welcome to the Sycamore Audubon Society

Post Office Box 2716
West Lafayette, IN 47996-2716

 

 

The Sycamore Audubon Society is a chapter of the National Audubon Society - a world wide environmental oganization. SAS's membership consists of National Audubon Society members living in Benton, Carroll, Clinton, Tippecanoe, Warren, and White counties. Membership in the National Audubon Society and residence in one of those counties can include membership in SAS. With over 500 members, the Sycamore Audubon Society is the largest environmental group in mid-north Indiana. The chapter is named for a race of the Yellow-throated Warbler which nests in sycamore trees along Indiana's waterways, and is thus called the "Sycamore Warbler."

If there is nothing of interest (no tax pun intended) the group may drive elsewhere to look for Golden-Plovers

Big Day in May Bird Count

The annual all-day search for everything. Those interested in participating in this all-day bird census should plan on coming to the May 11 organizational meeting if possible. You don't need any experience. New or "less confident" birders can team up with one of our more experienced counters. And, you don't need to be up at 4:00 AM to participate. If all you can do is an hour or two, that's perfectly OK. For more information, or to make arrangements if you can't attend the organizational meeting, contact Barny Dunning at jdunning@purdue.edu
