Speaker: Bob Stocker and his wife Nancy have been club members for more than two decades. He and Nancy have previously given talks about trips to Australia, Tanzania, and Brazil. Lately, Bob has been staying closer to home and photographing invertebrates in their backyard.

Program: When Bob noticed that some of his backyard photos were of non-native species, he thought that he might give a short talk about them at a December meeting. It quickly became apparent that including all the non-native backyard species he had photographed would make his “short talk” too long. His solution to the problem was to offer to give an expanded talk at a general meeting. The expanded talk includes vertebrates and some species photographed at Colorado sites outside his backyard.
