Friday, January 13, 2017, 7 pm at the Unitarian Church of Montpelier, the North Branch Nature Center presents:
America's Snake, with Author Ted Levin
The Rise and Fall of the Timber Rattlesnake. Author and Naturalist, Ted Levin will discuss a six-year inquiry into the natural and not-so-natural history of the timber rattlesnake. Ted looks at the biology and the conservation efforts in New England, to protect timber rattlesnakes, as well as the misguided attempts to destroy them or to take them home as a pet.
“[A]s darkness congealed over the talus, barred owls and coyotes sent vespers across the river while the stuttering call of an eastern screech owl wafted over the rocks. In early October, if the temperature remains warm, homebound rattlesnakes stay on the talus; if the temperature falls, they go under, braided together like so many twists of licorice.”
