SUMMARY:Rock Ledge Ranch with Kip Miller
DESCRIPTION:Rock Ledge Ranch Weekday Birding: Wednesday\, October 5\, 9:00 a.m.  \nLocated adjacent to Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Springs\, Rock Ledge Ranch can be a surprisingly good location for observing migrant songbirds during spring and fall migrations. Today we’ll spend a few hours slowly working around the grounds checking the wooded areas\, as well as the farm and open areas for birds pausing to rest and refuel on their way south. We may walk a mile or so\, but slowly and on easy terrain. \nKip Miller will lead this outing. Meet at the south end of the Garden of the Gods overflow parking area. (Directions will be provided to all registrants.) Group size will be limited to 12 participants. For more information or to reserve a space\, please contact Kip at hlbirdguide@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Crows & Coffee - Austin Bluffs and Pike's Perk!
DESCRIPTION:“Whether you’re a seasoned birder or an amateur\, join Collin Hildreth for a bird walk at Austin Bluffs and Pulpit Rock Open Space. We will meet at UCCS Parking Lot 580 (600 N Campus Heights). We will then proceed past the Heller Center and into the open space from there. Meet up time is 730a on Saturday\, September 17th.  Walking will be at a slow pace on hilly\, rock and dirt trails. Consider bringing sturdy shoes\, binoculars and a field guide to enhance your birding experience. \nAfterward\, you’re invited to join us for coffee and some friendly chat at Pike’s Perk on North Academy Blvd (5965 N Academy Blvd). \nNo need to register\, just show-up!  Help us make this a fun monthly gathering!” \nMeet Collin! \nHello! My name is Collin Hildreth and I am a new field trip leader for Aiken Audubon. \nI am a long-time birder and avid hiker here in Colorado Springs. I have lived in Colorado Springs for the past seven years and I have spent that time exploring many of Colorado’s unique trails while watching some incredible birds along the way! I began bird watching about 8 years ago while attending high school in New Hampshire.  \nI certainly cannot pick one single bird as my favorite. However\, Common Yellowthroats do hold a very special place in my heart! I also enjoy nature photography\, so while I am out I usually have my camera in tow. \nI personally find bird watching incredible because there are just so many birds to see and identify wherever I am in the world. Whether I am on a mountaintop or downtown there are always birds around. It truly is a hobby for everyone! \nI also love to learn! Therefore\, I aim to promote an atmosphere of knowledge sharing on the trips that I lead. That way\, we all can learn the most from each other and enjoy our hobby to the fullest. Myself included!

SUMMARY:Flammulated Owls!
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to tell you about an upcoming bird walk on Friday\, July 8th at 630p – Flammulated Owls! \nProfessor Brian Linkhart will lead this fantastic tour on behalf of Aiken. This is often good timing for being able to see owlets and maybe even see them access their nests! \nBecause of the popularity of this walk\, we’re going to make it available for registration on June 1st at 8a.  We will need to cap it at 12 people\, so if you’re interested – mark your calendar for June 1st at 8a and email Melanie Helton at MHELTON016@gmail.com.  Melanie will register the first 12 people that respond.  Each person (email) may only register for 2 people. \nWe will meet at the Manitou Experimental Forest (MEF) and the hike details will be provided to you once you’ve been confirmed.  Please note that we will be hiking in the dark through some rugged terrain and angled slope without headlamps or flashlights.  If this doesn’t excite you\, please don’t register! \nWe kindly request a $25 donation per person\, cash or check made payable to Aiken; 100% supports Dr. Linkhart’s ongoing research.  If you are in need of partial scholarship to cover this donation\, please let me know. \nI will be checking with the twelve confirmed individuals two days beforehand to confirm.  Please list your best contact information within the registration request.  I will work a waitlist to ensure that we have a full group!
