Please join Columbus Audubon Tuesday, September 27 as we kick off our new
program season with Ohio's very own Greg Miller. Greg was one of the three
stars in the 2004 book by Mark Obmascik who each saw over 700 species in one
calendar year, 1998. Mark's book was on the New York Times Best Seller List
at # 35 and it was an Amazon Top 100 Seller for weeks.
The Big Year now has been made into a full length movie starring Jack Black,
Steve Martin and Owen Wilson. It's due for release on October 14, 2011. Greg
served as a birding advisor to the film and he plans to show a movie trailer
as part of his presentation at our meeting.
In addition to our main program, we would like to invite you to the first of
this season's "Program Shorts" from 7:00 to 7:15 pm. Mike Flynn will kick
off the season with a session entitled Sandhill Cranes at Jasper-Pulaski. He
will be talking about the November field trip he will be leading to
Jasper-Pulaski and his beloved Sandhill Cranes.
Wait, there's more! Greg Miller will be signing copies of The Big Year! If
you already have a copy, Greg will be happy to sign it for you. If you don't
have a copy, the GIAC Nature Store will have them for sale.
And there's still more, including speaker-themed door prizes. You won't want
to miss all the new CA Program activities. Members and guests welcome!
