“Have you seen any Eagles?” As someone who wears binoculars on a hike (usually looking for

birds), this is the most common questions I am asked when I am outside. What does it tell

me? Eagles are big, well-known, noticeable, and impressive, and people want to talk about

them! In this talk, we’ll look at the mammals, reptiles, birds, insects, and other wildlife that

Delaware Nature Society naturalists are frequently asked about.

We will dispel some common myths, explore their unique habits and natural history, and hear some interesting accounts about

animal-human encounters. After 30 years of working at a nature center, Joe Sebastiani will share

his experience with nature including some odd wildlife stories in this entertaining and

educational program.

Joe Sebastiani has worked with the Delaware Nature Society for 25 years, where he is the

Director of Adult Engagement. Joe is the former President of the Delaware Ornithological

Society, has a bachelor’s degree in wildlife science from Penn State, and a master’s degree in

Education from West Chester University. As a native of Kennett Square, PA, he’s tromped

around the woods, fields, and wetlands of our area his whole life.

This event is presented by the Delaware Nature Society as part of our New Castle County Reads programming.
