SUMMARY:Full for walk & waitlist! Join Professor Brian Linkhart for a Flammulated Owl Event - Friday\, July 11th
DESCRIPTION:This trip is full and so is our waitlist!  We are excited to tell you about an upcoming bird walk on Friday\, July 11th 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!\nBecause of the popularity of this walk\, we’re offering to our membership first from June 1 through June 15! We will need to cap it at 12 people\, so if you’re interested – mark your calendar for June 1st at 8a and 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.  After June 15th\, the offering will be open to the general public if there are slots remaining….so register early!\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!

SUMMARY:Kane Ranch Open Space with Kip Miller
DESCRIPTION:El Paso County’s Kane Ranch Open Space provides a fun location for summer birding with prairie grasslands and a dry creek bed lined with tall cottonwoods.\nWhile it’s getting to be that quiet time in the breeding season\, we’ll hope to find a variety of summer residents still present. We’ll start with a walk out into the open\ngrasslands\, searching for Burrowing Owl\, Sage and Curve-billed Thrashers\, Cassin’s and Lark Sparrows\, Lark Bunting and Dickcissel. We’ll then return to the entrance area and turn our attention to the cottonwoods along the creek bed and the shrubby field adjacent to the parking area\, where we might find three species\nof kingbirds (Eastern\, Western and Cassin’s)\, Bullock’s Oriole\, Lazuli Bunting\, Blue Grosbeak and other breeding and resident species. Total walking distance may be up to three miles round-trip\, but at an easy birding pace on a mostly flat trail. \nKip Miller will lead this outing. Please contact him at kipGmiller@gmail.com to register. Group size limited to 12. Meet at the Kane Ranch Open Space parking lot. (Directions will be provided to all registrants.)
