Salamanders with Don Scallen
April 13, 2023 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Salamanders with Don Scallen
For decades, Don Scallen has visited springtime ponds to witness the wondrous spectacle of Spotted Salamander and Jefferson Salamander breeding. He will share pictures and videos of this special time of year. Don’s salamander adventures are not limited to the spring however. In recent years he has ventured into the woods in early autumn to document the nocturnal behaviour of various salamander species. And in late fall of last year, he finally had the opportunity to meet and photograph a mudpuppy in a local stream.
7pm Thursday April 13th, at the Bayshore Community Centre and on Zoom. To request a zoom link please email web@osfn.ca with “Don” in the subject line.
OSFN Indoor Meetings are normally held on the second Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at the Bayshore Community Centre, 1900 3rd Ave E Owen Sound. There are no Indoor Meetings in July and August. Please see the individual event listings below for more details.
We invite speakers with a wide range of expertise from Grey/Bruce and other parts of the province. These evenings are open to the public. The auditorium is open by 6:30. The meeting gets under way at 7:00, and may include brief announcements by other organizations as well as OSFN club activities, club business, social time, nature sightings and reports.
The club also offers a full schedule of outdoor activities during the year. Through these outings, members learn more about the birds, plants, mammals and geology of this part of Ontario. We also keep a protective eye on our precious natural areas.
