In January, Michael Runtz provided an informative and often humorous talk on his career and travels as a naturalist in Algonquin Park and many other venues throughout Canada. While he focused on his experience with moose, beavers and bears, there was also discussion on birds, foxes and other wildlife. In addition to some hair-raising encounters with some of the larger species, he also mentioned black flies and mosquitoes. This was a highly entertaining presentation, which prompted many questions and comments. There is lots more information on his Facebook Page.
