Fall Meeting: ‘Barn Swallows and Humans’
- When: 1:30-3:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8
- Where: Broomfield Library, 3 Community Park Road
You’ve probably seen their cup-shaped mud nests under bridges and underpasses, or maybe the eaves of your house. Barn Swallows have thrived alongside human expansion for thousands of years, becoming one of the world’s most widespread bird species. Now, this longstanding connection is threatened as Barn Swallow populations face rapid decline worldwide. Don’t miss our fall meeting, where Dr. Rebecca Safran, a professor at CU Boulder, will discuss “Barn Swallows and Humans: The Rise and Fall of Coexistence in a Changing World.” Get details here.
Special Online Talk: ‘Bills with Skills’
Missed the presentation by longtime birder Peter Ruprecht? Learn how birds like Crossbills and Clark’s Nutcrackers use their unique beaks to pry seeds from evergreen cones in this recorded talk. Their behavior may actually be changing our coniferous forests – and leading to the arrival of a completely new bird species in Colorado.
