Nichol:
This
program describes the stunning habitats and remarkable
wildlife of the Pantanal region. Striking photographs
illustrate the area’s extensive marsh and river habitats, huge
waterfalls, cerrado, and gallery rainforest and vividly
document its intriguing, exotic, wild residents. The seasonal
wetlands of the Pantanal region of west central Brazil offer
some of South America’s finest wildlife viewing opportunities.
Gina Nichol is the founder of Sunrise Birding, a
company devoted to natural history programs and tours. Gina
has been a naturalist and birder for more than twenty years.

In
Search of Birds of Prey, a North American Journey –
Jim Zipp:
This
program, about birds of prey, is based upon Jim’s experiences
in the field. He has been photographing them for more than 35
years as well as experiences in starting and running a hawk
banding station at Lighthouse Point in New Haven, CT. We will
travel from the Northeast to Florida and all the way to Alaska
and Mexico with stops at many points in between. Jim’s work
has appeared in numerous magazines, calendars, field guides
and books including The Birds of New England
by Jim Roetzel and Jim Zipp published in 2008. Jim will have
copies of this book available for a book signing immediately
after the program.
When not in the field photographing or birding, he is at
The Fat Robin Wild Bird & Nature Shop in Hamden which he and
his wife Carol opened in 1995.
