If you spend 30 years in-and over- the wilds of Alaska, you might have a few good stories to tell. From Mike Vivion's bottomless reservoir of tales, we'll be introduced to some classic Alaskan characters, both human and nonhuman wildlife, that he met and worked with in the far north. We'll learn about monitoring mountain goat migrations from the air, animal capture operations involving chemical compounds of interest to authorities, and radio tracking of everything from brown bears to fish. Mike's stories will both inform and entertain.
