SHERMAN The Sherman Library will offer A Safari through Namibia and Botswana presentation by Angela Dimmitt on Friday, March 29, at 7 p.m. This free program is part of the library’s Travel from Home series offered on Zoom.
Dimmitt will take viewers a journey in southern Africa, across its Namib Desert and the Etosha Pan continuing into Botswana with its Okavango Delta. Dimmitt was part of a small group, staying in lodges, driving vast distances and finding wildlife along the way. During the trip, she experienced being surrounded by elephants, viewed lions resting by the road, spotted zebra, rhinos and giraffes and watched huge flocks of impalas and wildebeest. Viewers can follow Dimmitt’s path as she describes her experiences with the people, the wildlife and the terrain of the region.
Robert Miller: The sound of a South Carolina bird sings in CT

Right now, the world is mostly white, black and gray.
The birds at my feeder are like that as well. Chickadees, juncos, titmice, nuthatches as black, white and gray as Whistler’s mother. Now and then, there’s the red/olive Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal to brighten the world, or the crimson patch on the back of a downy woodpecker’s head.
But, lucky me, I’ve also had a pair of Carolina wrens small, round, bright cinnamon-brown birds with their tails straight up like signaling semaphores. Nothing could be finer.
