A Season With Penguins in Antarctica
by Noah Strycker
Noah Strycker, 24, will present "A Season With Penguins In Antarctica," an hour of stunning images and amazing anecdotes from his research with Adelie Penguins at Cape Crozier from November 2008 to January 2009. Noah will recount the adventure of living and working in an Adelie "city" on the highest, driest, coldest, windiest, and most remote continent on Earth. Strycker, a Creswell native and OSU graduate, is associate editor of Birding magazine, a regular columnist for WildBird magazine, and a contributor to other magazines and books.
