Lafayette Learns - Rescheduled to Aug. 8

Lafayette Learns - Rescheduled to Aug. 8

Tonight's program has been rescheduled to Thursday, Aug,. 8 at 6:30pm, due to the timing of HVAC work in the building. 


Adults and older teens - join us for Lafayette Learns! This month we will explore "History from a Bird's-eye View - Changes in Feathered Fauna in an Evolving Landscape."

In addition to its own song, that Blue Jay calling out in your backyard sings its part in the chorus of Boulder County's story. This fascinating program, co-sponsored by the Boulder County Nature Association, tracks the changes in the nature of our land – how changes in human land use have transformed the avian fauna of our region.

Learn how the building of cities, planting of trees, creation of water projects and other human activities have ushered in many species (including some of the most familiar) and ushered out a number of others. What other songbirds followed the path of the Blue Jay? What water birds are newcomers to our prairie landscape? And what of the Burrowing Owl? Join naturalist Martin Ogle, and Lafayette Historical Society's Gerry Morrell to find out!
