Bridgerland Audubon’s September Event
Is it Back?
Watch Scott Crocker’s acclaimed film “Ghost Bird” about the Apparent Rediscovery of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker
“Ghost Bird” wades into a murky swamp of belief and obsession in this cautionary tale about birders, ornithologists and the citizens of Brinkley, Arkansas, who are certain they keep seeing a giant woodpecker that’s been extinct for over half a century.
“It’s a stunner.”
–NPR
“Comic, mesmerizing, deeply poignant.”
–Macleans
Featuring music from The Pixies, The White Stripes and David Lang
Thursday, Sept. 9 at 7 p.m.
Logan Arthouse and Cinema
795 North Main
Was the elusive Lord God Bird found again five years ago in Arkansas? Cornell University and the press seemed to think so, but did Cornell control its spin too carefully? Are there now more books about the Ivory-billed Woodpecker than birds of that species? How have residents of rural Arkansas been affected by the news–or hype–of the bird’s rediscovery? Is the Ivory-bill back?
Your $5 donation will help fund our efforts to preserve wildlands in Cache Valley, but no one will be turned away!
Local author Christopher Cokinos will sign copies of his book Hope Is the Thing with Feathers: A Personal Chronicle of Vanished Birds after the film. His book includes a moving narrative about the last known stronghold of Ivory-bills in the southern U.S.
Spread the word and bring your neighbors and friends to this Bridgerland Audubon Event.
