SUMMARY:Dinosaurs in Deerfield; Reading the Rocks
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Amherst College students. \nScientists examine rocks to learn about life in the distant past. Some rocks tell us a bit about what critters may have looked liked\, while other rocks give us a sense of what the critters used to do. Some of the first people to notice these special rocks once lived and worked in Deerfield many years ago. One of the earliest discoveries was made by a local teenager. \nExplore fossils and gems from the Rock\, Fossil and Dinosaur Shop.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL TALK: Birding in Massachusetts and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:The Tilton is co-hosting this FREE Virtual program\, sponsored by The Northfield Public Library and Libraries in the Woods.\n\n\nA virtual presentation by John R. Nelson\, author of 2019 book Flight Calls: Exploring Massachusetts through Birds.\n\n\nJohn writes\, “In search of birds I’ve gone further and further afield\, first to birdy spots around Massachusetts…next cross-country to the Rio Grande and saguaro deserts\, then beyond to whole new families of birds in Belize\, Brazil\, Botswana\, Bhutan\, and Borneo….The more time I spend with birds\, the more they’ve become sources of stimulation\, not just visual treats or searches rewarded. They’ve catalyzed the childlike curiosity\, one of the great blessings of being human\, that becomes dormant in so many of us.”\n\n\n\n\nEmail dmemlib@gmail.com to register for this Zoom program.\n\n
