A Year at a Beaver Pond with Al Cornell

Free
You won’t want to miss this Wednesday, August 14th presentation with astute observations and superb photography by Al Cornell. Cornell, recently retired from the DNR, lives in the driftless area of Wisconsin. One day he noted a newly created beaver pond near his home. He set up a blind at the edge of the pond on a bright spring day to photograph the eagle he had seen hunting the area. He relates that this photo session grew into an obsession, and he subsequently spent a year visiting the blind and documenting a year in the life of the beaver pond. During that time, Cornell observed 61 species of birds and nine species of mammals, as well as numerous fish, insects, and toads that were drawn to that small beaver pond. He went on to publish “A Year at a Beaver Pond: Observations from One Little Dynamic Ecosystem,” a book with exquisite photography and insightful text.
