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:Aiken Monthly Meeting: Eric Eaton asks\, "Why Despise Flies?"
DESCRIPTION:New meeting location! We are now meeting in person at the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Office (4255 Sinton Rd\, Colorado Springs\, CO 80907). The entrance to the classroom is on the back (east) side of the office and parking is available. \nFor our first meeting of the fall 2022 season\, we have a special guest speaker\, Eric Eaton. He is the author of Insectopedia (Princeton University Press\, 2022) and Wasps: The Astonishing Diversity of a Misunderstood Insect (Princeton University Press 2022). He is the lead author of the Kaufman Field Guide to Insects of North America (Houghton Mifflin Company\, 2007)\, co-author of Insects Did It First (Xlibris\, 2018)\, and contributor to several other books as well as author of numerous other articles about insects and other animals. Eric previously lived in Colorado Springs before recently moving to Leavenworth\, Kansas. \nTalk description:\n“Why Despise Flies?”  Flies are the insects we love to hate. From mosquitoes that suck our blood to the pesky “fruit flies” in the kitchen\, they are loathed as a nuisance or a downright menace. It may come as a surprise to learn how much good flies do for us and for the planet. Do you love “Death by Chocolate?” You can thank a tropical fly for pollinating cacao. Come take a listen and find out what remarkable flies are to be found here in Colorado. Several have special relationships to birds\, though not necessarily in a good way. Put on your insect repellent and join us\, won’t you? \nDate: September 21\nTime: 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm\nLocation: Colorado Parks and Wildlife Classroom\, 4255 Sinton Rd\, Colorado Springs\, CO 80907\nThe entrance to the classroom is on the back (east) side of the office and parking is available. We’ll start setting up at 6:30\, so come a little early to say hello and have some snacks. \n  \n  \n  \nWant to attend the meeting virtually?
