SUMMARY:Big Sit! @ Fountain Creek Regional Park
DESCRIPTION:Aiken Audubon will participate in The Big Sit challenge (an international birding event open to anyone) October 9th at Fountain Creek.   We’ll be there from 7a to 12n close to the South Rice Ponds location.  Aiken will have a large white board to record every bird seen or heard\, if positively identified.  A large 60x scope will be shared with masked individuals\, if interested. \nAll observations must be made from within a circle of no more than 17ft in diameter!  We’ll have a roped off area with chairs and snacks – feel free to bring your own chair\, too. It’s a good way to relax while watching birds and enjoying good company. \nIt’s a lot of fun to participate in this international event – please join us for as little or as long as you’d like!  Hope to see you on Saturday!  Any questions\, please email Debra Nord at debra.nord@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Aiken Monthly Meeting: Birds of the Alpine – White-tailed Ptarmigan and Brown-capped Rosy Finch
DESCRIPTION:Though many intrepid explorers hike Colorado’s high elevation mountains\, only a lucky few get to view the magical birds of the alpine – the southern white-tailed ptarmigan and brown-capped rosy-finch. Ptarmigan\, in almost a constant state of molt\, use their remarkable camouflage to disappear from predators and human alike whereas rosy-finches breed in steep\, inaccessible cliffs at extreme elevations. Come learn about these incredible birds and gain an appreciation of how they survive and thrive in the harsh alpine tundra of Colorado. Two researchers\, Amy Seglund (Colorado Parks and Wildlife) and Greg Wann (former graduate student at Colorado State University) will take you on a journey to describe both the natural history of ptarmigan and rosy-finches as well as share results of their research findings that have spanned over 10 years. Together their research has helped provide a better understanding of the distribution and health of these species in Colorado\, in addition to identifying threats that may impact populations into the future.
