Animal Adaptations: Survival Strategies 101
Sat July 25, 10:30am-12pm
Ever wonder how black-capped Chickadees, those chatty and companionable little birds, survive snowstorms and subzero temperatures? They don’t migrate, as many birds do, to seek warmer weather. How do they get through the Catskills deep, dark winters? Join Leslie T. Sharpe for a dynamic discussion of “Animal Adaptations: Survival Strategies 101,” starring a wide array of critters including butterflies and lightning bugs, bluebirds and bats, and deer and black bears. Leslie discusses the extraordinary adaptations these critters have developed to survive and thrive.
Leslie is a well-known naturalist and the author of The Quarry Fox and Other Critters of the Wild Catskills. She was also chosen as one of the “50 Stewards of the Catskills” by the Catskill Center for Conservation and Development, for her work promoting the protection and preservation of Catskills ecosystems.
