Additional information about January's lecture   

World-renowned photographer Sumio Harada will highlight the mountain goats of Glacier Park through his stunning photographs gathered over years of work in the most isolated regions of Glacier. Sumio brings the fascinating social ecology and behavior of mountain goats to life and will also discuss current research efforts in Glacier National Park.  

Sumio Harada was born in Japan and studied biology at Tokyo University of Agriculture. His research on the behavior of the Japanese serow, a close relative of our mountain goat, led to his wildlife photography career, and prompted his move to the Rocky Mountains, eventually settling in West Glacier. His images have been published in National Geographic, National Wildlife, Ranger Rick, Canadian Wildlife, GEO, Montana Magazine, 2007 Canon Desk Calendar and in numerous international magazines and books. In 2008 he published his own photo book, "Mountain Goats of Glacier National Park".
