"Winged Migration"Movie
Directors Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud

The film is great photography of birds during instinctural migration spring and fall, survival instinction, and habitat hunt. You will appreciate the movie as either an experienced or beginner birder. Come see a closer look at bird life than you have had before. Musical scoring brings out our feathered friends movements even more. Bird voices in the film are from the birds themselves. Environmental issues are so suttle in presentation, some less experienced viewers enjoy the movie; getting the message without knowing it is happening. The movie is one and one half hours long and can be enjoyed from start or middle depending on your arrival.
We will start at 6:30PM.
