The Wildlife of Patagonia: Argentina and Chile

Join writer and photographer Ed Robinson for a one-hour presentation featuring the stunning wildlife of Patagonia, a huge area of unspoiled country ranging from central Argentina and Chile to the Strait of Magellan. Enjoy fine photographs of unique and fascinating creatures surrounded by amazing scenery. From wild ocean coastlines to arid steppes and the soaring peaks of the Andes, Patagonia is one of the last unspoiled parts of the Americas. Patagonia is known for raging rivers filled with gorgeous trout, jagged mountains topped by glaciers and arid plains with vast herds of cattle watched by the famous gauchos. The talk chronicles a three-week trip to this beautiful region with multiple stops in each country. The presentation will entertain and educate using 150 stunning photos, biological facts, and stories with a Q&A session to follow.

About our Speaker:

Ed grew up in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of Western New York and developed a deep love for wild creatures and the environment. Since moving to Orr’s Island, Maine from England in 2007, he has been exploring this beautiful state and writing about the creatures that live here. Ed recently published his second book titled Nature Notes from Maine: Puffins, Black Bears, Raccoons & More, with the profits benefiting public education and conservation. In reviewing Ed’s first book George Smith, former Outdoor News Editor for the Bangor Daily News noted, “This book is full of great stories about Maine’s wild animals. The stories are highly entertaining and brought back memories of my own wildlife encounters. These are the wild creatures that make life in Maine very special.” A reviewer for the Natural Resources Council of Maine described the writing as “lucid and tranquil.” Ed’s books are available for sale on the HHLT website, book stores around Maine or from Amazon.
