## The Birds
A filmmaker, facing up to the twilight of his career, sets out to use his camera skills to decipher the relationship between a million seabirds and a single hunting falcon. Ultimately his cinematic portrait of this “cosmic event” provides crucial insights into the mechanisms of the natural world and the difficulties of coming to terms with the end of a life well-lived.
Panelists include:
- Jared Lipworth, Head of HHMI Tangled Bank Studios
- Brian Evans, Migratory Bird Ecologist, Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute
- Sara Hallager, Curator of Birds, Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute
- Tara Snedgen, Bird Observatory Manager, Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute
