In this program, we will explore how penguins overcome these challenges and raise their young in colonies in three separate locations, on three different continents.” – Doug
Doug has been birding and photographing wildlife around the world for over 40 years. His travels have taken him to more than 40 states, over 30 countries, and all 7 continents. He has been active with Audubon since the 1980s, and served a couple of terms as Forsyth Audubon’s president in the 90s.
