Although the many shorebird festivals in Alaska start ramping up this month, many of us can’t get to them.
But there are a couple of events that you can attend to learn more about the avian world.
Bird TLC, a nonprofit that cares for and advocates for Alaska’s wild birds, is screening “Listers,” a documentary about extreme birdwatching. The event is April 3 at 6 p.m. in the Wilda Marston Theatre. The film will screen at 7 p.m.
The documentary follows two brothers who know little about birding, but spend a year in a van chasing bird sightings. If you are a birder, you probably have a life list of birds you want to see or hear. Hence, the name of the film. RSVP to attend.
At 7 p.m. April 15, Bird TLC will offer a virtual event called Avian Adaptations with a spotlight on multiple ambassador birds. You also need to register for this event: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/ybkm-oEvQYyXdKs6Ycfblg
