Just a quick reminder that a New York, New York version of Birds and Beers is happening THIS WEDNESDAY at the Houndstooth Pub from 6pm – 9pm…and rumor has it that even Non Birding Bill might come along. For the most up to date information on Birds and Beers check the Facebook Page.
And speaking of New York, I got a heads up from Birdspot that a documentary about Central Park birding called The Central Park Effect is about to premiere at SXSW. Check out the trailer and warning, there is at least one word in it that those with toddlers may not want them to hear, but I love it because that’s how I talk to myself when not leading and official field trip:

Wow, that documentary actually looks like it could be cool
Auugggghhhh! I have to travel to NYC tonight for work, but I’ll be getting in too late!
I saw the film at SXSW, I am the producer of a narrative feature showing at that festival and not a birder. But this film is superb and magical, and was the most uplifting moment I had at he festival. The cinematography, soundtrack, human interest aspect, as well as the astounding documentation of the spectaculr proliferation of bird species in the park were all revalations and represent top notch doc film making. I was pleased that this film sold to HBO, and that a much wider audience will have the opportunity to see it this summer. So, so good.
