SUMMARY:May Monthly Meeting:Corvids and Conifers\, Pinyon Jays in Wyoming's Bighorn Basin with Corey Anco
DESCRIPTION:Join Aiken Audubon Society as Corey Anco presents on May 20\, 2026 via Zoom about \nCorvids and Conifers: Pinyon Jays in Wyoming’s Bighorn Basin \nPresenter: Corey Anco\, Willis McDonald\, IV Curator of Natural Science\, Draper Natural History Museum\, Buffalo Bill Center of the West \nPinyon Jay (Gymnorhinus cynaocephalus) sightings and flock sizes have declined significantly since the 1960s. While the reasons for this decline vary by location\, very little is known about the Pinyon Jay near the northern extent of its distribution. In 2024\, the Draper Natural History Museum\, in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management\, Museum of Wildlife and Fish Biology at the University of California\, Davis\, Northwest College\, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service initiated a study to characterize habitat use by Pinyon Jays across limber-pine woodlands in Wyoming’s Bighorn Basin. In this presentation\, we’ll share highlights from the first few field seasons of this project and explore the Pinyon Jay’s curious relationship with seed-bearing pines. \nCorey Anco is the Willis McDonald\, IV Curator of Natural Science at the Draper Museum. He holds a B.S. in Environmental Science from Lewis University\, a Master of Environmental Management from Duke University\, and an M.S. from Fordham University. At the Draper Natural History Museum\, Corey’s research focuses on understudied species and ecosystems\, addressing knowledge gaps to support emerging management and conservation needs of state and federal resource agencies. His interest in Pinyon Jays stems from their complex social structure\, unique adaptations\, and resilience in harsh\, arid environments. \nThis is an in-person meeting held at the Colorado Parks & Wildlife Office; 4255 Sinton Road 80907. Our entrance to the building is located on the EAST side (back side) of the building; not the main entrance. Parking is encouraged in the south and west parking lots. \nIf you would prefer to attend via zoom\, here is the link: \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/5770180765?pwd=ZaUy7qRz4askuBDWbOkvv3yaxEmdTH.1&omn=85079933786 \n  \nDoors Open: 6:30pm\nMeeting announcements: 7:00pm\nProgram Presentation: 7:15pm \nphoto credit: Corey Anco

SUMMARY:Flammulated Owls with Dr. Brian Linkhart
DESCRIPTION:Announcing one of our most popular field trips each year – the annual Flammulated Owls trip with Dr. Brian Linkhart! You’ll see Dr. Linkhart collect data on the nesting owls he studies and learn a lot. This is a wonderful experience! \nRegistration opens May 1 at 8:00 a.m. Aiken Audubon members may register first from May 1 through May 10. Starting at 8:00 a.m. on May 1\, you may email fieldtrips@aikenaudubon.com to reserve your spot. Have you donated any amount to Aiken in the past one year?

After May 10th\, the offering will be open to the general public if there is space remaining….so register early! If you have attended this trip before\, we ask that you delay signing up so that others may attend.\n\nWe will meet at the Manitou Experimental Forest (MEF). Meeting details will be provided to confirmed participants closer to the trip.  Please note that this experience will likely involve hiking in the dark\, possibly over some rugged\, inclined terrain.\n\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 request with you RSVP.\n\nWe will check-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.  There will be a waitlist option.\n\nPhoto: Flammulated Owl Nestling by Jessica Miller / Permitted Research Activity with Dr. Linkhart
