Monday, February 4, 6:30-8pm – Black Bear Research in New York State with Kim Babcock and Jim Hewlett.
Last year’s presentation was such a success that we decided to repeat it this year! Learn about the current efforts to understand the black bear populations of our state using radio telemetry, den visits, and a non-invasive genetic mark-and-recapture technique.

Tuesday, March 11, 6:30-8pm – Coyotes Among Us with Scott Smith.
What exactly is this animal known as the eastern coyote? What do they eat? How many are there? How did they get here? Do I have to worry about my children or pets? There are a lot of questions about this large canid of the Northeast. Come and take a peek at some of the habits (and maybe some of the answers) of this adaptable carnivore with DEC Wildlife Biologist Scott Smith.
For reservations call Nancy Lawson at 394-3500, x7257.
Wednesday, April 23, 6:30-8pm - The Songs of
Spring: Frogs of New York with Clinton Krager. In the spring of
the year our senses are stimulated with the
sights, smells and sounds of life emerging from a long winter's
hibernation into a dawn of another reproductive
season for Amphibians and Reptiles. One of the
foremost indications of spring is the sound of the male
frogs and toads calling to the females. There are 14 species of
frogs and toads in NY State. We will examine
several of these species found in the Finger
Lakes region by taking an up close and personal look at their
natural history as well as identifying frogs and
toads not only using morphological
characteristics but also their calls. So that on a cool spring
evening you can identify the frogs calling around your house.
