SUMMARY:Flammulated Owls with Brian Linkhart - Trip is Full - Waitlist Only
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to tell you about an upcoming bird walk on Friday\, July 7th at 630p – Flammulated Owls!\n\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!\nWe will need to cap it at 12 people\, so if you’re interested 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.  \n\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.\n\nI will be checking-in with the twelve confirmed individuals a few days beforehand to confirm.  Please list your best contact information within the registration request (email and phone number) for each individual.  I will work a waitlist to ensure that we have a full group!\n\nThank you for being a member of Aiken!

DESCRIPTION:Lake Pueblo State Park: Saturday\, November 11th\, 8:00 am – 3:00 p.m. \nJoin us for this Aiken Audubon fall outing to Lake Pueblo State Park.

SUMMARY:Weekend Waterbirds at Prospect Lake – Saturday\, November 18\, 9:00 a.m.
DESCRIPTION:Weekend Waterbirds at Prospect Lake – Saturday\, November 18\, 9:00 a.m. \n\nDespite its urban location\, Prospect Lake in Colorado Springs’ Memorial Park is a well-known waterbird magnet during migration and in early winter when open water remains available.

Remember to bring along warm layers in the event of chilling fall breezes. \n\nKip Miller will lead this outing.
