Tuesday Talk: Fishers are Core with Kirk Gentalen via Zoom

Fishers are Core

‘Fishers are Core’ is the third (and dare we say ‘final’) chapter in a trilogy of wildlife appreciation presentations presented by the Maine Coast Heritage Trust.

Following the pace set by ‘Owls are Easy ’ and then its sequel ‘Otters are Easier’, ‘Fishers are Core’ will dive head first into what makes everyone’s favorite/least favorite Mustelid (weasel family) Fishers. Personal stories, photos, and videos will make this a Tuesday full of education and appreciation as we explore the concept of Fishers in mid coast Maine. Tracking tips and advice will be shared, and reviews (often uncensored) of ‘helpful’ tools will also be shared.  Costumes encouraged.

Nature is entertainment to Kirk, and he has found that the ‘big fisher in his neighborhood’ is a source of boundless bundles of entertainment. Currently living on the St George peninsula with his family, Amy and Leif, Kirk writes a nature column (‘Nature Bummin’) for MCHT (mcht.org/story-tag/nature-bummin) and edits the Vinalhaven Sightings Report (vinalhavensightings.blogspot.com).
