Welcome to the Indiana Young Birders Network
The Indiana Young Birders Network (IYBN) is a community-based network of passionate young birders interested in kickstarting or furthering their interest in birds and birding! The IYBN acts as a free resource for all young Hoosier nature enthusiasts wanting to meet other young birders, as well as gain valuable knowledge and birding skills that will last a lifetime.
Our mission is to create a safe, inviting community for all Indiana nature enthusiasts to connect, grow, and learn about all things birds.
For questions regarding the IYBN, please contact us at [email protected].
Upcoming Events
In 2026, we’ve partnered with Eagle Creek Park to host Young Birders Outings the first Saturday of each month, running April through October. Meet at 10 a.m. ET outside the Ornithology Center for a guided outing led by Sam Urquidez, Indiana Audubon’s Bird Programs and Partnerships Manager. Bring binoculars if you have them.
The dates are April 4, May 2, June 6, July 4, Aug. 1, Sept. 5, and Oct. 3. Visit our events page to learn more and register in advance.
