"Beaver Pond Wildlife: Part 4 - Mid/Late Summer" is the fourth film in this 5-part series, which documents much of the wildlife to be found at, in, and on typical northeast beaver ponds over a full year's time.Each event will have a social hour from 6-7 and then the film at 7. Ray Asselin the filmmaker will be there for a live Q & A after each film (each film is ~1 hour, or a bit less)!
In "Beaver Pond Wildlife: Part 4 - Mid Summer to Fall", great blue heron nestlings are growing quickly. Fledgling red-shouldered hawks take their first flights, and practice flying around the pond.
We'll see how a flood and a bear affect the beavers. There's a new family of belted kingfishers honing their skills.
We'll also see:
-how bees and hummingbirds uniquely interact with various flowers;
-North America's only carnivorous butterfly;
-newly-hatched painted and snapping turtles emerging from underground nests;
-how aquatic bladderwort plants capture food;
-beavers preparing for the coming winter;
-tiny slug eggs hatching;
-otters and mink fishing; weevils; snakes; leeches; various birds;
-stunning aerial views of New England's signature autumn foliage;
-and lots more!
Park at the plaza next door unless mobility impaired. Bring your own food and drink (carry-in, carry-out).
Bear-deterrent whistles and wildlife education materials will be available.
Donations are welcome and appreciated!
