Autumn Winds: Encounters with a World in Transition by Craig Newberger
Monarch butterflies, each weighing less than one gram, can fly as far as three thousand miles. Energized by the sun, they fly during the day following the same mountain ridges and air currents as migrating birds. As they journey south, they rely on nectar from asters and goldenrods to fuel their journey to mountains in Mexico they’ve never seen before. To find out how their destination was discovered, check out my newly released book, Autumn Winds: Encounters with a World in Transition. Available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Autumn Winds: Encounters with a World in Transition by Craig Newberger
While images of spiders have begun showing up on windowpanes and pumpkins, our native spiders are busy building webs, feasting on insects and ballooning into the air. Though among the most underappreciated animals on the planet, spiders are fascinating in their abilities and adaptations. Some can jump twenty times their own body length. Others can sail through the air on a silken thread. Most spiders are harmless to humans while providing valuable ecological services controlling insect pests and pollinating plants. Learn more about the remarkable adaptations of spiders in Autumn Winds: Encounters with a World in Transition available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
