Fall Meeting: ‘Barn Swallows and Humans’

• When: 1:30-3:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8
• Where: Broomfield Library, 3 Community Park Road

Barn Swallows have thrived alongside humans for thousands of years, becoming one of the world’s most widespread bird species. However, that longstanding connection is threatened as Barn Swallow populations face rapid decreases worldwide.

Dr. Rebecca Safran, a professor at CU Boulder, shares insights into the past and future of these fast-flying birds in “Barn Swallows and Humans: The Rise and Fall of Coexistence in a Changing World.” Her long-term research looks at the birds’ rich shared history with humans and how recent shifts in ecology, behavior and more may help us to understand this species’ alarming decline.

Our fall meeting includes light refreshments and door prizes. Broomfield Library offers ample free parking, and the second-floor Eisenhower Meeting Room is accessible by elevator. Members and prospective members are welcome. No registration is required.
