Indiana Viewers

Explore Indiana nature in close-up

Indiana includes Lake Michigan dunes, northern wetlands, central plains and woodlots, and the caves, ravines, and hardwood forests of the south. Urban parks, farm edges, restored prairie, and river corridors provide accessible places to compare habitats.

From Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, and towns across the state, viewers can use this guide to compare local habitats, seasons, and field marks with original WhatsTheZoom videos. A useful identification starts with where and when an observation was made—not simply what color it appeared on camera.

Habitats and wildlife clues to watch

  • Observe dune plants and migration near Lake Michigan without crossing closures.
  • Watch restored prairies and field edges for pollinators and spiders.
  • Explore southern karst forests for fungi, moss, and stream life.
  • Study pond and river insects from boardwalks, bridges, and stable banks.

When to look closely in Indiana

Spring flowers and migration move northward across the state. Summer favors dragonflies, bees, and web builders; autumn reveals nuts, seeds, mushrooms, and foliage. Winter makes nests, bark, tracks, and wetland structure easier to see.
