September 9 (Thursday).  Program. 7:00 p.m.
NEW LOCATION:  Fort Collins Senior Center, Room 3, 1200 Raintree Drive.  Social Gathering: 7:00 p.m. Program: 7:30 p.m. Dragonflies and Damselflies of Colorado. Do you know a Red-tailed Hawk from a Mead-owhawk? This presentation, by David Leather-man, will be about the won-derful dragonflies and dam-selflies of Colorado (aka the members of the Order Odo-nata, or “odes”). Our state, while not as diverse as other locales like the Southeast, has over 100 species of odes to see and study. The talk’s focus will be Larimer County species, but a few special gems from elsewhere will be included. David Leatherman, long time birder and forest ento-mologist, became hooked on odes about two years ago and is thoroughly ad-dicted. Attendees are warned—this could happen to you! Join us and come learn about the fascinating bluets, dancers, snaketails, skimmers, and more! REMINDER: The Fort Collins Senior Center, 1200 Raintree Drive, is the new location for all upcoming Fort Collins Audubon Society Thurs-day evening programs in 2010. We will be located in Multi-Purpose Room 3 at the Center.
