This online registration system allows you to review and electronically sign the Agreement if you do not have one on file.

If you choose this option, please contact your leader to assure you are signed up for the trip.
Please note: Each person, including each family member choosing to sign the Agreement electronically must login and have a separate account so that the agreement is tied to the individual.

Habitats to bird: Conifer Forest, Riparian
An informal series of trips to explore beautiful Park County's avifauna and interesting ecology. This trip will visit Lake George to see what birds are on the water and in the Ponderosa pines there. Then we will head up Eleven Mile Canyon to see the sights and see what birds we can find there. Lake George is likely to have some nice waterfowl for us. The trip in the Canyon is going to offer gorgeous views, and we have a chance of seeing some more waterfowl on the river, American Dippers, Eagles, and birds of Douglas-fir/Ponderosa pine forest. We will mostly be pulling off and seeing what we can see at various stopping points. Be prepared for cold weather, and there may be snow/icy surfaces. Weather leading up to the trip may change what we do, as the road in the Canyon is not well maintained for winter weather. We will play it by ear. Trip marked as moderate, but we won't be hiking too hard, just walking around a bit here and there. We will carpool hopefully in 3-4 cars. For folks from the Aiken Audubon Society, rendesvous info will be provided as we get closer to the trip. Bring lunch, snack and drinks, hat, cloves and good walking shoes. A few scopes will be handy and the leaders will bring theirs to share.
