A big thank-you to Phil for organizing the get-together to see the movie--it was so much more fun than if I had seen it with
non-birding friends.  Meeting Greg Miller and hearing some of his stories was also wonderful.  I wish MOS would get him for a conference, to tell us all about the making of the movie, and his experience being their bird consultant.  It's obvious they took his advice a lot (tho not in every case--scenery and drama won out in choice of that great grey owl in VA, clearly!). 

 I think people who don't bird will enjoy the movie, but it does add another level to recognize just how spot-on a lot of the  scenes  really are--the mad dashes, the just-missed rarity, or the one that turns out to be right over your head, and just the excitement of it all.  Great evening!
