[nysbirds-l] "Flight" - North Shore Audubon Society film presentation Tuesday, Jan 23, 2018

2018-01-22 Thread Nancy Tognan 
The North Shore Audubon Society will hold its monthly program on Tuesday, 
January 23, 2018, from 7pm to 9pm, at the Manhasset Public Library, 30 
Onderdonk Avenue, Manhasset NY 11030.  All are invited, free of charge.
Public transit users:  This location is a half-mile walk from the Manhasset 
LIRR station.
 
This month’s presentation will be the film “Flight, the Genius of Birds"
 Photographed in North America, England, Peru, Greenland, and 
Antarctica, FLIGHT probes mysteries and mechanisms of a bird’s anatomy, 
instinct, navigation, and embryology to reveal stunning provisions essential 
for life in the skies. You’ll marvel at a hummingbird’s unique systems vital to 
its spectacular aerial acrobatics; the endurance and navigational abilities of 
an Arctic tern as it travels from pole to pole during the longest migration on 
the planet;  the instinctive strategies that enable a flock of 300,000 European 
starlings to evade predators at break-neck speeds; the elaborate network of a 
million component parts that make a single feather an aerodynamic masterpiece, 
and much more. The poet William Blake wrote: to see an eagle in the air is to 
observe a portion of genius.
 Film by Illustra Media.
