A short indoor class will teach visitors about the largest rodent in North America, which is plentiful in the Indiana Dunes National Park s rivers, lagoons and other waterways.
The Indiana Dunes Birding Festival will again take flight this week after its wings were clipped by the coronavirus pandemic last year.
The annual festival the Indiana Audubon Society organizes at the Indiana Dunes will take place as a hybrid with both virtual and live events between Thursday and May 16. It celebrates one of the best spots for birding in the country, where hundreds of species have been spotted. Birding in the Indiana Dunes is the best the state has to offer. With its rich biodiversity, varying habitats and miles of Lake Michigan shoreline, the Indiana Dunes is a hotspot for migrant birds, organizers said on their website. The annual Indiana Dunes Birding Festival is held to celebrate the dunes areaâs various birding habitats and bird watching opportunities to create a positive impact on the economic, conservation, and environmental education for visitors and residents to the Indiana Dunes region.
