Search for the Ivory-billed Woodpecker
Friday, March 14th
7:00 - 9:30 pm

Veterinarians Greg Lewbart and Diane Deresienski spent three months in the swamps of the Florida panhandle a year ago, participating in the quest to confirm that the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker is not extinct, as has been the belief for the past six decades. Stalking a reclusive bird in inhospitable terrain presents more than its share of challenges. They'll be presenting their tale of just how hard-core avian research really is - and you thought bird-watching was a casual hobby!
