SUMMARY:Cottonwood Creek Trail Hike
DESCRIPTION:A lovely trail that follows Cottonwood Creek through a residential neighborhood in northeast Colorado Springs. Cottonwood Creek\, mature trees and residential yards attract a variety of birds; most recently Song Sparrow\, Spotted Towhee\, Yellow Warbler\, Cordilleran Flycatcher and a surprise Lazuli Bunting. \nWe’ll explore roughly 5 miles of the trail that is all paved concrete. The entire trail is estimated to be in the mostly gentle grade category (5% or less) with an elevation gain of just over 200’. It’s possible to stay along pavement all the way out & back\, with a few short dirt/gravel off-shoots. This trip is focused on developing birders\, and we’ll move at a leisurely pace stopping to look for birds and discuss what we see. \nSunscreen and sufficient water are strongly recommended (there is little to no shade)\, along with a hat\, comfortable walking shoes and binoculars. No restrooms are located along the portion of trail we will explore\, but are within a short driving distance. Picnic tables are located our meeting spot. Feel free to bring your own lunch and something to share with the group if you would like to take part in a group lunch at the conclusion of our hike. \nThis trip is offered cooperatively by the Aiken Audubon Society and the Denver Field Ornithologists. \nREGISTRATION IS REQUIRED\, and is accessible through THE DENVER FIELD ORNITHOLOGISTS WEBSITE.\nYou will need to create an account and login to register.

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!
