Golden Wings & Hairy Toes (again)

Now that Todd McLeish's program is over I can finally reveal (in case any of you who were not able to attend were wondering!) exactly to whom the golden wings and hairy toes of his book title belong. The wings belong to the Golden-winged warbler, which makes its home in northwestern Connecticut, and the hairy toes belong to the Indiana bat, which can be found at Middlebury College in Vermont.

On Thursday evening 23 people attended Todd's colorful slide show, which was acompanied by wonderfully entertaining anectdotes about his experiences working with biologists to track lynx, the ringed boghaunter dragonfly, the northern red-bellied cooter (a turtle), the roseate tern, and the American burying beetle. Visit ToddMcLeish.com to see pictures of these amazing endangered creatures (plus more) or stop in and check out his book for more in-depth descriptions of his adventures in the wilds of New England.
