"Birds of the White Mountains" with Dr. Steve Hale on April 17 at 7pm

     

     The Friends of the Dover Public Library are pleased to present a slideshow presentation by Steve Hale on “The Birds of the White Mountains” on Tuesday evening, April 17 at 7pm in the library’s Lecture Hall.

      Dr. Stephen Hale is the owner of Open World Explorers, which offers presentations, birding lessons, and naturalist guided tours to New England’s natural landscapes and wildlife. He worked as a bird observer in the White Mountain National Forest and was a regular presenter at the Mount Washington Hotel and The Balsams Resort. He received his doctorate in Natural Resources from UNH following degrees in zoology, marine biology, and ecology from LSU and University of Miami. He hikes and backpacks over 200 miles every year and has observed many wonderful things which he will showcase in his slides. He has also led birdwatching field trips for more than 15 years, usually on foot, but also on snowshoes, cross-country skis or in kayaks or on paddleboards. Steve has lived in New Hampshire over for 20 years, and loves to share his experiences and knowledge with others.

       Steve’s presentation is designed as a virtual tour on a regular hiking trail in the White Mountains and documents both common and uncommon birds from the low-lying valleys to the wetlands to the uppermost northern boreal forest zone. You will experience a most distinctive assemblage of birds, reserved usually for the hardiest of hikers, but enjoyed from the comfort of your chair!

     This presentation is free and open to the public. For more information, call the Dover Public Library at 603-516-6050.
