May Program, Ft. Collins Audubon Society
You are invited to the regular monthly program of the Fort Collins Audubon Society , May 13 in the Columbine Room of the Fort Collins Lincoln Center. This will be a Double Feature Program. A social half-hour starts at 7:00 pm and announcements and the programs start at 7:30 PM. "Connecting Youth to Nature: Research from a Diversity of Settings," a presentation by Brett Bruyere, director of the CSU Environmental Learning Center and “Spring Migrants and Vagrants,” by Eric DeFonso, Fort Collins Audubon’s Field Trip Coordinator. Bruyere will summarize research conducted during the past two years on engaging youth and families in programs about nature., research that indicates a strong interest in such programs by families around the country from Fort Collins to the Bronx to the southern tip of the Big Island of Hawaii. However, a number of barriers can prevent participation. Come learn how we can better engage diverse groups, and how FCAS is doing their part to address those barriers. DeFonso will present a slideshow of birds seen during spring migration in Colorado and beyond. He will include a narrative of where these birds are likely coming from, where they are headed, and how long they'll be there. The presentation is designed to inspire you after our seemingly endless winter, to get you thinking of spring as an especially glorious delight, and to get a glimpse of splendid birds arriving from March through June as they do every year in a wonderful, yet mysterious procession. It will be an an opportunity for you to share your own stories of birds seen during this exciting season of diverse species. The event is free and open to the public. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
