Annual Big Sit Bird Watch Event

The annual Big Sit Bird Watch on the White Lick Creek bridge returns to the B&O Trail. This free event goes from dawn to noon and features experienced bird watchers who track bird species by sight and sound throughout the morning.  Connect with Mother Nature at a spectacular spot on the B&O Trail and learn about dozens of different bird species who live or migrate through central Indiana.  Park at Green Street and walk a half-mile west to the bridge for this event.
