Dr. Peter Petokas gave a fine presentation on the Eastern Hellbender Salamander. Who knew what lurks below? Dr. Petokas invited our members to join him and his research team to help track hellbenders that have been released in the Unadilla River. We also took a break to take a field trip to the parking lot for a view of the Starlink satellite train. Amazing!
