Not sure where to count?
Give a general region, your available times and whether you’re interested in owling before sunrise.
OUR COUNT CIRCLE
The ININ count circle
A 15-mile circle, centered in Fort Harrison.
Explore the published ININ count area.
Click a letter to browse that area. A–D are approximate navigation markers, evenly spaced in the four quadrants for easy selection. They are not actual territory boundaries, park locations, entrances or meeting points.
Source-defined circle, not route boundaries. Center: 39.869391, −86.038867. Radius: 7.5 miles (12.07 km).
Based on the Bird Alliance of Central Indiana’s published ININ center and 15-mile diameter (2025 listing). The current Audubon ININ listing shows the same center rounded to 39.87, −86.04. The 2026 date above comes from Ben. Route assignments, feeder eligibility and entry permissions still need confirmation.
Only public map geography is loaded from OpenStreetMap. No signup information is sent to the map service.
STEP 2
Choose your location
Familiar names from the 2025 roster.
2026 location plans still need confirmation.
Sign up now; confirm your plans before count day. You can join any listed location even if its leader or meeting details are still pending. The coordinator will help finalize teams. A sign-up is a request, not a reservation or permission to enter a property.

Start with Area A, B, C or D
Or search all locations if you already know where you want to count.
All 24 final 2025 route bundles are included, plus an earlier-draft corridor and late-added locations marked for review. Private participant names and feeder-home addresses are omitted. This page does not grant site access. A route request shows your chosen roster name after submission. Contact details, availability, owling preferences and lunch responses are private and shared with the coordinator and your approved team leader for count coordination.
BEFORE COUNT DAY
How sign-up works
See your name appear
Your name joins the roster as soon as the submission succeeds. Keep your private management link to change or cancel your request.
Confirm the plan
The coordinator approves team leaders. The coordinator manages the website. Approved team leaders receive their team’s contact details and notes by email once email delivery is connected.
Privacy and launch status
Counter sign-ups and team leader requests are open; leader approval is handled separately. Submitted requests are stored in the CBC database. Roster display names are visible to site visitors; full contact names, email, phone, regional preferences, availability, owling interest, lunch responses, feeder addresses and location-check results, and notes are not part of the public roster.
Team leaders do not need to log in. The coordinator reviews each leadership request and confirms the recipient before sharing private team details. Email updates are queued while email delivery is being connected. Confirm site access and meeting plans before count day. The circle visualization uses the chapter’s published center and diameter; individual routes are not mapped.
