2010 Wildlife Series

 
 
 
TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 2010*

 Safari Brazil - Gina 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.    *Note: this is the 4th Tuesday of March

 
                                              TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 2010

 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.
