Description
July 11 – Rick Libby – The Wildlife of New Hampshire
Rick has been photographing wildlife for over 40 years. Forsaking a tripod, most of his work is done from a kayak or using a monopod. Rick works to photograph wildlife, whether they be on land, water, or in the air, living their lives with as little disruption as possible.
July 18 – Ben Kilham – The Social Black Bear
Black bears, thought to be solitary, have a different type of social behavior that possibly parallels early human behavior. They show evidence of reciprocal altruism, matri-linear hierarchy, and a mix of intentional and emotional communication.
July 25 – Squam Lake Natural Science Center – Creatures of the Night
How do wild animals find food in the dark or escape predators? You don't have to stay up late to get a close look at elusive nocturnal creatures. Meet three live creatures of the night with a Squam Lake Natural Science Center naturalist to learn surprising details of their adaptations, which make them well-suited for night life.
