Few birds are as recognizable as the Atlantic Puffin. A black and white seabird with a colorful bill, puffins are exciting animals to learn about and, if you’re lucky enough, see along the north Atlantic coastline. Most New Englanders can enjoy seeing puffins in person by taking a day trip if you know where to go and when.
|
Learn about their interesting lives from ‘puffling’ to adult, where they breed, what they eat, climate impacts, look-alike birds, and where to go to see them. Led by Scott Santino, the Education Manager and Teacher Naturalist at the Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary in Topsfield where he has been leading nature education programs for Mass Audubon since 1999.

What do Yebba, JRR Tolkein, and Jazz have in common? Come find out as the Greg Loughman trio leads you on a jazz-infused exploration of epic fantasy novels. With this concert, we will highlight a diverse group of epic fantasy fiction writers and describe the works they have written while performing music related to their stories.
