SUMMARY:Birds & Brews - Quail Lake followed by Urban Animal with Jessica Miller
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, October 13\nQuail Lake (10am)  followed by Urban Animal (12pm)\n\nQuail Lake is a 22 acre reservoir on the southwest side of town used primarily for recreation like fishing and paddle boarding\, but anywhere with this much water should be birded. We’ll look for a variety of migrants. We may peruse some social trails in an adjacent greenspace. Afterwards we’ll stop by Urban Animal Beer Co just a couple miles away.\n– Difficulty: Easy. We will be on relatively flat terrain and will walk no more than 2 miles.\n– Bring binoculars and dress for the Colorado Springs forecast.\n– No public restroom on site (there may be a porta potty)

SUMMARY:Join Aiken & Kip Miller at Lake Pueblo State Park: Saturday\, October 26\, 8:00 am – 3:00 p.m
DESCRIPTION:Lake Pueblo State Park: Saturday\, October 26\, 8:00 am – 3:00 p.m. \nJoin us for this Aiken Audubon fall outing to Lake Pueblo State Park. Waterbirds will certainly be a major focus – we’ll scan for loons\, ducks\, grebes\, gulls and more from the lake’s best vantage points – but we’ll also be alert for raptors and land birds in the park’s desert habitats and in wooded areas below the dam. Our actual itinerary will be flexible based on recent reports\, weather conditions and time – but it should be a fun day of easy birding. We’ll spend the morning and a few hours of the afternoon in or near the park\, so pack a lunch\, water and such and remember to bring along warm layers in the event of chilling fall breezes. \nKip Miller will lead this outing. We will meet within the state park at the parking lot located at the end of West Fishing Road. (Directions will be provided to all registrants.) Note a $10/vehicle daily fee or Colorado State Parks annual pass is required for entry to Lake Pueblo State Park. Group size will be limited to 12. For more information or to reserve a space\, please contact Kip at kipGmiller@gmail.com.
