species.Brought to you by the Boulder County Nature Association. *

*Little Dogs of the Prairie*
*Heather Swanson*
*Indoor class: Thursday, June 8, 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm*
*Field class: Saturday, June 10, 8:30 am - 12 pm, **$60 per person*

Nothing brings out people's passions more than a discussion about prairie 
dogs! Whether you love or hate them, we share a long and complicated 
history. These fascinating rodents have an intricate social system and 
share complex relationships with many other species. Our native prairie, 
and many of its plants and animals, depend on these charismatic little 
burrowers. Learn about their biology, behavior, and ecological importance, 
as well as many species that share close ecological relationships with 
them. We will also explore our own complex coexistence with them here along 
the urban Front Range. These sessions will take place in and near Boulder.
 
*Heather* is a Senior Wildlife Ecologist with City of Boulder Open Space

species, for the last 12 years she's been involved with Boulder County and

[cobirds] 3 Spots Left, David Leatherman, "What Birds Eat"

[canoemary1]

*You don't want to miss this revealing class, brought to you by the Boulder 
County Nature Association. Take your birding to the next level.*

*What Birds Eat*
*David Leatherman*
*Indoor class: Wednesday, June 14, 6 pm - 9 pm*
*Field class: Saturday, June 17, 8 am - 12 pm*
*Field class: Saturday, June 24, 8 am - 1 pm*

*3 SPOTS LEFT: Limited to 10 participants, $95 per person*

Don't just ask "What is it?" - but "What is it doing" and "Why is it 
there?" A knowledge of birds' food habits can not only help you find more 
birds, but answer these questions as well. In the evening session, we'll 
cover the basics of bird anatomy and physiology as they relate to how birds 
acquire food and sustain their activity. We'll also look at some of the 
major foods used by area birds. Two weekend field trips provide unrehearsed 
"live" attempts to find birds and figure out what they are eating. Bring 
your curiosity and your camera. These sessions will take place near 
Longmont, Loveland, and Fort Collins.
