According to the 2025 U.S. State of the Birds Report, one-third of North American bird species are at risk. Many of them live in Indiana or pass through during migration. Protecting these birds requires more than good intentions. It takes statewide research, collaboration, education, and community involvement. At Indiana Audubon, we lead programs that track migration, restore habitat, and study […]

A Guide to Responsible Owl Viewing
A Guide to Responsible Owl Viewing
As winter arrives in Indiana, several owl species – Northern Saw-whet, Short-eared*, Snowy, and Long-eared* Owls – can be spotted in the state. However, overwintering owls face numerous challenges, including scarce food resources, habitat disruption, and increased stress due to human disturbance. Your presence can significantly impact their well-being, causing stress that can lead to missed meals, fatigue, and decreased chances of survival — especially for vulnerable species like Snowy Owls, which travel hundreds of miles to reach our state. By following simple guidelines, you can help minimize your impact and ensure a safe, enjoyable experience for both you and the owls.
