Nature Program Talk: Bald Eagles, Bear Cubs, and Hermit Bill
2024-01-30 18:30 - 19:30 | Camden Public Library
On Tuesday, January 30th at 6:30PM, Coastal Mountains Land Trust and the Camden Public Library host wildlife biologist and author Ron Joseph as he recounts the highlights of his storied career.
In Bald Eagles, Bear Cubs, and Hermits: Memoirs of a Wildlife Biologist, Ron shares his stories of growing up in rural Maine, working as a wildlife biologist, and meeting Mainers like retired dairy farmers Ruth and Martin French of Dover-Foxcroft, who repurposed their barn’s empty cow stalls into a wildlife rehabilitation center. The couple specialized in rescuing orphaned bear cubs, providing solitary cubs with teddy bears as temporary surrogate litter mates while biologists scrambled to find sow bears willing to adopt the orphans. The book includes humorous stories, such as one about the time he had to count piles of deer dung on designated mile-long lines and encountered a woman who bluntly asked, “So you went to college for that?” Other stories border on the absurd, including one of an influential legislator who pressured Ron to spray concentrated wolf urine on 30 miles of Route 201 in a harebrained waste of taxpayer money to supposedly reduce moose-vehicle collisions. Many of the book’s stories have previously been published in Down East, Maine Boats Homes and Harbors, Bangor Daily News, Moosehead Messenger, PenBay Pilot, and elsewhere.
Novelist Paul Doiron will join him to discuss his latest work: Dead Man’s Wake.
This is a hybrid program and will take place in person in the Picker Room at the Camden Public Library as well as on Zoom. Please visit the “What’s Happening” adults events calendar at librarycamden.org to register for a Zoom link to attend this webinar.
