  • Lights out Indy: Continuing to Move Forward by Austin Broadwater, Lights out Indy Chair
    AUDUBON LIFELINES SEPT/OCT 2019 A PUBLICATION OF AMOS BUTLER AUDUBON SOCIETY A CHAPTER OF THE NATIONAL AUDUBON SOCIETY Issue #1 Amy Hodson • Have an idea for a story? Send an email to [email protected] Lights Out Indy: Continuing to Move Forward By Austin Broadwater, Lights Out Indy Chair all migration is just around the corner. Over the next few months, countless birds will be making their nocturnal voyages Facross the country, continent, and even further, to their winter homes. With so many obstacles along the way, our duty as nature lovers is to make that path the least treacherous as possible. ABAS is doing its best to make that a reality. The Lights Out Indy initiative is starting to gain more traction since it started doing bi-annual surveys. With our team of seven volunteers, we were able to collect 62 birds among 36 species in the metropolitan area during this past spring. This included such favorites as the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Scarlet Tanagers, Indigo Buntings, a Baltimore Oriole, Yellow-billed Cuckoos, and various warblers, thrushes and sparrows. Even a Virginia Rail, Sora, Sharp-shinned Hawk, and several American Woodcocks were sampled. The concrete jungles scattered across the United States result in countless bird fatalities every year. Fortunately, eight of the recovered birds were alive when they were found. They were transported to rehab centers, and hopefully recovered from their collisions. The other specimens were transported to the Eagle Creek Park Ornithology Center for future education and research. Two collection routes were traveled 17 times from April 1 through May 31 with volunteers focusing their attention on the major glass-paneled buildings of downtown Indianapolis.

    Tasks Four/Six: Destinations and Programming In these tasks, the team developed an understanding for destinations, events, programming, and gathering places along the White River. The team evaluated existing and potential destinations in both Hamilton and Marion Counties, and recommended new catalyst sites and destinations along the River.

Working together with the client team and the public, the vision plan identified twenty-seven opportunity sites for preservation, activation, enhancements, or protection. The sites identified on the map at right include existing catalysts, places that exist but could be enhanced, and opportunities for future catalysts. All of these are places along the river where a variety of experiences can be created or expanded. This long list of destinations or opportunity sites is organized by the five discovery themes. Certain locations showed clear overlap among multiple themes and enabled the plan to filter through the long list to identify seven final sites to explore as plan ‘focus areas’ or ‘anchors’.
