Park Description: 
The habitat of Aiken Canyon Preserve is mixed grassland and woodland. Lower areas of the park feature pinyons and junipers and host birds such as the Juniper Titmouse and Spotted Towhee (pictured). Upper elevations give way to ponderosas and douglas-firs where nuthatches and woodpeckers abound. We will also likely see hummingbirds, flycatchers, vireos, jays, chickadees, warblers, tanagers, and grosbeaks. Equal attention will be given to the native plant species that form these ecosystems.
