Migrate, Hibernate or Deal With It – How Northern Critters Cope With the White Season

Presenter: Sparky Stensaas

Winter is a force to be reckoned with in the North. Birds, mammals, amphibians, and even insects not only survive but THRIVE in the winter woods of the boreal forest. Our visiting winter finches are especially adapted to our harsh winters. Learn how they do it through stunning images and HD video of some rarely seen critters in this interesting and entertaining presentation by Mark “Sparky” Stensaas. Sparky will also be signing his new book, Winter Finches of North America, and have the field guides he publishes for sale as well.
