(Online flyer at http://goo.gl/IiOEn) *********************** Monday, April 25, 2011 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM "Restoring America's Delta" — a Conservation Multimedia Presentation by Marc Dantzker & John Bowman
One year after the BP oil spill began, Marc Dantzker and John Bowman, from the Lab's Multimedia program, will present two video productions that look at a the struggles of Louisiana’s coastal wetlands and its human and bird residents. “Deepwater Horizon – One Year Later” (6 min) looks at the effects of the oil spill on birds beyond the headlines. "Restoring America's Delta" (24 min) examines the long-term problem of land loss in the Mississippi River Delta and what can be done to turn it around. Both feature stunning imagery of the Delta's rich birdlife. The videos will be mixed with discussion that includes the team's experiences documenting birdlife in the wake of the BP oil spill. The videos’ editor Tom Swartwout and cameramen Gerrit Vyn and Benjamin Clock will also be there to answer questions.

Allen as a venue for sharing the complex world of science in a format aimed at a public audience. Seminars typically begin at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 7:00 p.m.) in the Visitors’ Center Auditorium. As always, admission is free and open to all. ****************************************** Charles Eldermire Public Education Outreach Associate Manager, Sapsucker Woods & Johnson Visitors' Center Cornell Lab of Ornithology 159 Sapsucker Woods Rd.
