SUMMARY:Field Trip: Lake Pueblo State Park
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this Aiken Audubon fall outing to Lake Pueblo State Park. Waterbirds will certainly be a major focus – we’ll scan for loons\, ducks\, grebes\, gulls and more from the lake’s best vantage points – but we’ll also be alert for raptors and land birds in the park’s desert habitats and in wooded areas below the dam. Our actual itinerary will be flexible based on recent reports\, weather conditions and time – but it should be a fun day of easy birding (no long hikes planned). We’ll spend the morning and a few hours of the afternoon in or near the park\, so pack a lunch\, water and such and remember to bring along warm layers in the event of chilling fall breezes. \nKip Miller will lead this outing. We will meet at the Lake Pueblo State Park Office and Visitor Center. (Please note an $10/vehicle daily fee or Colorado State Parks annual pass is required for entry to Lake Pueblo State Park.) \nGroup size will be limited to 12 participants. For more information or to reserve a space\, please contact Kip at hlbirdguide@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Field Trip: Prospect Lake Tuesday Waterbird Walks - Nov 9 to Nov 30\, 9:30 a.m.
DESCRIPTION:Despite its urban location\, Prospect Lake in Colorado Springs’ Memorial Park is a well-known waterbird magnet during migration and in winter when open water remains available. With this in mind\, Aiken Audubon will be offering weekly birding walks around the lake on Tuesday mornings from November 9 through November 30. We’ll watch for ducks\, geese\, grebes\, gulls and more – as well as the occasional raptor attracted by these birds. Walking distance around the lake is approximately 1.25 miles. We will start from the main parking lot on the lake’s east side\, off of South Union Boulevard (adjacent to the Peace Officer’s Memorial). Remember to bring along warm layers in the event of chilling fall breezes. \nKip Miller will lead these outings. For more information or to reserve a space\, please contact Kip at hlbirdguide@gmail.com.
