The hands-on program will allow you to look at live amphibians such as tiny spring peepers and giant bullfrogs; listen to the breeding calls made by frogs and toads; and watch a short video of their breeding calls as well as their different hunting strategies. You can also take a look at 'secretive and elusive' salamanders, including spotted, red-backed and blue-spotted.
This program will be taught be Richard Wolniewicz, an author of various field guides and a producer of natural history videos. A new full-length DVD that Wolniewicz produced, 'The Frogs and Toads of Massachusetts,' will be available for sale and autographing after the show.
