Birding Film at Going Green Film Festival

By Mike • March 13, 2010 • 6 comments

How cool is this? Adventures with Birdman: Ecuador-Jocotoco Antpitta has been chosen as an official selection of the 2010 Going Green Film Festival, one of only 30 out of more than 500 film submissions. If you’ll be in the Beverly Hills area from April 2–4, you should consider supporting Birdman Tim Barksdale and the inclusion of a birding flick in the festival.

It’s excellent, and Tim Barksdale is brilliant. See it if you possibly can.

Tim is brilliant and a friend. He HAS stayed at the House.

Clare, you’re just rubbing it in that I never got a chance to stay in the House.

Perhaps Mike, but even if it isn’t THE House, you’re welcome to come, visit and stay at my house anytime. The Ivory Gulls await.

He’s got a Facebook fan page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Adventures-with-Birdman/103737717428 and I found this clip too: http://vimeo.com/birdmantv

Tim shot the bulk of the birds for my documentary, “Opposable Chums: Guts & Glory at The World Series of Birding.” I’d call him a genius. And the Antpitta film described above is really the pilot of an exciting TV series. Go, man, go!

Birds in the Mossad?

Last year, vigilant Saudi Arabian officials detained an Israeli spy vulture yet apparently failed to foil the “Zionist espionage plot.” How else to explain the highly suspicious European Bee-Eater Turkish authorities are currently investigating. Damning evidence includes an Israeli bird band and unusually large nostrils. Birders of the world: if you see something, say something. (Hat-tip to Suzie Gilbert!)

Too Many Nene?

Hawaii’s state bird, the endangered goose known as the Nene, has recovered from a population of a mere 30 birds in 1952 to over 2,000 today. The problem is that they seem to find the area around Lihue Airport irresistible so they have to be moved. Clearly there aren’t too many Nene but more habitat is needed.
