Naturalist Scott Tucker takes you through the remarkable amphibian breeding migration in New England where he focuses on the spotted salamander, vernal pools, aquatic insect life, and the issue of road mortality

In his seventy-third episode of Expedition New England, Scott Tucker joins “Friends of Hammonasset” on a frigid day in January at the third annual “Free Willy” event where a group of one hundred volunteers endure the elements and work to remove invasive plants like Oriental Bittersweet, Japanese Barberry, and Autumn Olive from the island.

He’s back! Finally, after months of soul searching we’ve taken back the Expedition and we’re off and running with a show about our wildlife encounters with everyday wildlife. For starters, Scott captures rare video of a wild Deer Mouse that had become so ill it came out into the middle of the kitchen in broad daylight.

In the second episode about his March 2010 journey to the whales Scott takes you even closer into the minds and hearts his fellow travelers. And once again thanks to Gene Flipse of Conscious Breath Adventures and his team of seasoned Humpback Whale behaviorists, Scott had eye to eye encounters with majestic Humpback Whales.
