Lewis, I'm glad you brought up this movie. Up here in Rochester, we're making the most of this opportunity to raise visibility for birding. We've scheduled a panel discussion on listing at a local library for October 3 (I have the pleasure of being one of the panelists) as a preamble to seeing the movie. Then there's talk of getting a big group of birders to go to the movie together on opening night. If this movie gets a few people interested in birding who have never considered the sport before, we want to be sure they find their way to the Rochester Birding Association, so we can help them embrace their new hobby.
It would be great if birding clubs across the country made the most of this—if the movie is as good as it looks, it may get a lot of people interested in joining our organizations.
