Birds of Eastern Australia - Evening Program, November 20th

Join us Wednesday, November 20 for our monthly program. We will plan to meet at 7:00 p.m., but we encourage you to come at 6:30 p.m. to socialize and have refreshments. The program will be by retired U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist Heather Johnson on birding Australia -- from the "Top End to Tasmania"! She will share photos and adventures from a recent trip to Australia.

We will be meeting in the new location - 107 S. 7th Street (Trinity Lutheran Church), upstairs in the cafe this month. We hope you can join us!

Spooky Scavenger Hunt held on a perfect Fall morning.

Thanks to the kids and families who joined us at Washington Park Bandshell on Saturday morning, November 2 under a sunny sky with no wind. We learned that spiders are arachnids and how to tell they are not insects, talked about different colors and kinds of owls, and heard about how a local crow gave a scolding for placing a crow plushy in a cottonwood tree for the big hunt. Then we looked up and down and found all 8 spooky items on our list before choosing the materials to bring home to make our own bats, crows or black cats. Boo! The little dino skeleton was the toughest to find! Please join us on Saturday, December 21, at 9am at the Schoolyard Trails (parking by Snowy Range Academy) for a Welcome Winter Walk. We will use all 5 senses to discover nature on the first day of Winter, and by popular request, will bring home a snowy owl token to remember our trek. Keep your fingers crossed for a little snow so we can do some tracking! This will be our last Kids & Families activity for 2024. Stay tuned for 2025!
