A bit more on Fitz' July 28 keynote

An excerpt from the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center Calendar of Events:

Join us on Saturday, July 28 for our Gala celebration and Annual Meeting. We are pleased to announce John W. Fitzpatrick, Ph.D. will be the Keynote Speaker at the event. John Fitzpatrick is a world-renowned ornithologist and head of the Cornell University Laboratory of Ornithology. Dr. Fitzpatrick will share the story of the ongoing search for the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, which has been making front page since its 2005 rediscovery. We have been fortunate to obtain Dr. Fitzpatrick as a speaker through George Butler who will introduce him. Originally we planned to show a preview George’s new film about the search for the Ivory-billed Woodpecker at the Annual Meeting. But instead George has generously offered to show The Lord God Bird as a benefit later this year. We are working with George to set up a date and venue. The day’s activities will start with The Great Woodpecker Quest, a scavenger hunt and fun, family activity that will pit teams against each other in an exciting contest to uncover answers and to raise the most money in pledges.
