This sounds a most interesting program & I am so sorry to miss it. The
topic is totally unique. Congratulations to the program person for coming
up with the idea.

AUDUBON PROGRAM FEBRUARY 6
IMAGES OF BIRDERS IN U.S. POPULAR CULTURE
On Monday, February 6 at 7:00 p.m., the Northern Neck Audubon Society will
host a program entitled "Miss Hathaway and Her Kind: Images of Birders in
U.S. Popular Culture". The public is invited to this program at Grace
Episcopal Church in Kilmarnock. Refreshments will be served.
Birders have been on-screen since the beginning of moving pictures to the
latest television sit-com. What sort of roles, appearances and plot
functions do birders have, and how might these influence the perception of
birders (and, by extension, bird conservation) in
U.S. culture? Ned Brinkley, formerly a professor of literature and film
studies at the University of Virginia, has spent a decade researching these
questions. He will present his thoughts on the subject with extensive clips
of media from 1930 through 2005.
Dr. Edward (Ned) S. Brinkley is the author of the National Wildlife
Federations' Field Guide to the Birds of North America and is the editor of
North American Birds, the American Birding Association's quarterly journal
of ornithological record. Along with Steve Rottenborn, he is the author of
the Virginia Society of Ornithology's Virginia Birdlife: An Annotated
Checklist. A native of Norfolk, Ned has birded since age 6, his interest
sparked by the southern warblers of the Great Dismal Swamp and, later, by
the seabirds of the Gulf Stream off of North Carolina. For Field Guides,
Inc., he has guided birding tours to Africa, the Caribbean, Iceland,
Portugal, Mexico, Central America and Antarctica. He currently lives in
Cape Charles, VA with "a half beagle and a feral cat".
