Way’s research has provided insight into these fascinating, highly
successful predators. Dr. Way obtained his Ph.D. at Boston College where he
combined science and educational issues associated with the creatures. He has
also hand-raised a group of coyotes, which are a valuable asses to both the
science and educational components of his work. Jonathan will show his radio-telemetry
equipment he uses to track these ubiquitous animals which can be found in pristine
wilderness as well as urban areas. Learn about their habits and habitat and how
this animal uses our coastal areas. He will also clear up the misconceptions
we humans have of this creature. </p>
