February 14, 2011 Good evening to all!
Per my email of February 1, this is just a reminder about the Aiken Audubon monthly meeting to be held on Wednesday, February 16. Our presenter will be Dr. Brian Linkhart who will speak about his continuing research on Flammulated Owls. When: Wednesday, Feburary 16, 2011 Time: 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m Where: Colorado Division of Wildlife, 4255 Sinton Road, Rear entrance (where classrooms are) - in Colorado Springs Cost: Free; no RSVP required Details:The Flammulated Owl is as small as a fist and reticent enough to disappear into the shadows of western forests. Considered the country’s leading expert on Flammulated Owls, Dr. Brian D. Linkhart has been studying the demography and habitat requirements of this small raptor on the Manitou Experimental Forest since 1981. His aim is the development of conservation plans for forest ecosystems containing this and other sensitive species. With this extended period of study Brian has been able to uncover some fascinating secrets about this species. Don’t miss this outstanding program. Dr. Brian D. Linkhart is an Assistant Professor of Biology at Colorado College, where he teaches courses in ornithology, ecology and field biology. Bonus: Death by Chocolate! According to tradition, our February meeting includes a potluck dessert: Death by Chocolate. Bring something yummy (and preferably chocolate!) to share, and come at 6:30—early enough to sample all the goodies before the program begins at 7:00. Hope to see you on Wednesday! Christine A.
