Once a month members of the Foothills Astronomical Society, typically on the first Friday of the month depending on the weather, come out to FENCE at sunset and set up telescopes on top of Hawk’s Ridge (behind the FENCE center). Foothills Astronomical Society aims to encourage astronomy and space exploration learning throughout the community. Whether you are a first time star gazer or an experienced observer, all are welcome to join the group.

Summer Bird Hike with Aaron Steed
-
Most of think August is a month in which to stay indoors, but in the bird world, August is a month when many of our local birds decide to begin their southbound journey. Most of our Barn Swallows and Purple Martins are already gone, but, despite the summer heat, birds are slowly moving through our area.

Summer Hike with Aaron Steed
-
"Summer is a wonderful time of the year with birds fledging through the warmer months. With an abundance of food and cover, many young birds are around. Tree Swallows and Eastern Bluebirds use the bird houses and Carlina Wren chicks scurry around the FENCE buildings looking for food.
