‘Frogs of the San Juan Islands’

Submitted by Orcas Senior Center

Orcas Senior Center welcomes back wildlife biologist, Christian Oldham, to his second season of Meeting of the Minds by Zoom. Join us this month as he presents “Frogs of the San Juan Islands.”

While not large in number, the species of frogs present in the San Juan Islands are fascinating. This lecture will dive deep into the life history of the frogs native to the islands, as well as the invasive American Bullfrogs, and will include video footage of the live animals that are discussed.

Oldham holds both a bachelor’s in biology and a master’s in forestry and natural resource sciences and, as a researcher with Kwiaht, he has been working with many of the native reptiles and amphibians throughout the San Juans. Leap into Oldham’s pool of knowledge right from your own pad from 1-2 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 18.
