We all know that nature provides us with peace, quiet, contemplation and delight. Nature can also startle and surprise us. Join Maeve Kim and her partner Bernie Paquette for an evening of breath-taking photos and astonishing stories.

Bernie is a citizen scientist who promotes curiosity, observation, and reflection of all life forms in nature. He has created and developed the JFiN (Jericho Families in Nature) organization, the Community Backyard Bug Safari program, and the JULS (Jericho/ Underhill Life Search) program - all to introduce more folks to nature and entice them to take a closer look at all life forms, insects in particular. He posts photos of insects onto iNaturalist (20,000 at last count) and writes/publishes Jericho Conservation Newsletters, Nature Journals, and nature-themed short stories. His Nature-Inspired Single-Panel Comics are published weekly on his Bugeyed Bernie blog.

Maeve has conducted many programs and classes about birds for GMAS, Audubon Vermont, the Friends of Missisquoi, OLLI-UVM, CVUAccess and other organizations. Tonight she’ll share great finds from Vermont and farther afield. Bernie will introduce you all
to inverting with a closer look at creatures on the fresh-and-alive section of the menu for birds.
