Happy New Year to all. This month's program is not bird related, but it is a fascinating topic nonetheless:
Wednesday, January 8th at 7pm at the Cold Spring Harbor Library Creatures of the Sea... from the Wacky to the Wonderful presented by Todd Gardner Why don’t fish get crushed under the pressure of the deep sea? How can whales hold their breath for so long? If corals have been around for more than 300 million years, why are they in such grave danger over a small increase in global temperature? Why do sharks really attack people? In which species does the male become pregnant and carry the babies? What does a marine biologist fear most in the water? These and many other questions will be answered tonight as we spotlight some well known, as well as some unappreciated marine creatures and their remarkable adaptations that make them so fascinating to us.

It is up to science to spread the understanding that the choice is not between wild places or people, it is between a rich or an impoverished existence for Man."
