SOAR and Feathers and Verses in Aurora, July 7 and 14

On July 7 and again on July 14, I served as one of the featured presenters for SOAR, sponsored by the Prairie Plains Resource Institute in Aurora.

As the photographs suggest, the the students learned about a dozen or so birds, including Prairie Chickens, including their songs.  They

all also colored birds of their choice--and with the colors that appealed to them.

SOAR--Summer Orientation about Rivers--offers a broad range of educational programs.  And I was thrilled to take part in this year's fanfare.

On July 7 (Once I figured out just where the event took place in Aurora) and again on July 14, I offered four twenty-minute programs and enjoyed myself considerably.

The folks at the Prairie Plains make important contributions to the people of Nebraska, and I hope to take part in the program in the summer of 2015.

I especially enjoy working with Amy Jones, Bill Snyder's energetic and wonderfully organized daughter.
