Birding lists have been compiled for years by Dorothy Buck and still appear periodically in the Indiana Audubon Quarterly. At this time, submitting your lists to this website will not function to update Dorothy's lists. An effort will likely be made soon, however, to merge the two databases.

If you wish to add or update your species totals to these lists, please send an e-mail to Darel Heitkamp using the subject line "Birding Lists." We feel that keeping and sharing lists is a personal preference which, although many birders may enjoy, is not universally regarded as essential to the enjoyment of wild birds.



This guide was developed through the collaborative efforts of Phil Kelly, Joanne Kelly, and Darel Heitkamp.
