Family Fridays, The Amazing Amphibians of the Berkshires

The illustrated talk will include an introduction to the various Frogs and Salamanders found in the northeast. Methods of finding and identifying them, a look at their complex behaviors, and the various habitats they prefer, from backyards to wilderness streams, will be discussed. Professor Tom Tyning will encourage families to get to know these sometimes shy and retiring animals. Some live frogs and salamanders will be on hand to greet visitors.
