What can streak like a fighter plane, hover like a helicopter, dive like a falcon and eat its lunch on the fly? It's not a bird, it's not a plane, it's a dragonfly! The dragonfly has for centuries captivated human imaginations with its daredevil flying maneuvers and vibrant colors. Join dragonfly experts Steve Gordon and Cary Kerst for a walk to learn about the biology, ecology and behavior of these ancient insects. Meet at 9:30 a.m. at 5th and Wallis (access Wallis by turning south off West 1st Ave between Seneca and Bertelsen roads). Wear old shoes that can get muddy and wet. Bring sunscreen and water. Space is limited to 15 children. Cost: Suggested donation $2 (member), $4 (non-member). For registration call Holly McRae at 683-6494 or email hmcrae@wewetlands.org.
