May 16	Talk & Slide Show by Renowned Birder Sandy Komito, “Big Year” Record Holder 6:00 - 8:00 pm FREE ADMISSION Sponsored by the Atlantic Audubon Society. Southern Ocean Birding Group and Atlantic Audubon Society present renowned birder Sandy Komito. Komito holds the American Birding Association's Big Year record of 748 species in North America in a single year, which was set in 1998 and still stands. It was the focus of the book and movie "The Big Year" released in 2012. In 1997 and 1998, Sandy Komito engaged in what serious birders call a Big Year run. This is a year-long marathon contest where a birder tries to see as many different birds as possible in a single year. Crisscrossing North America continuously, his travels included more than forty trips to Alaska including twelve tours to Attu Island in the outer Aleutians. Mr. Komito has published two books about his Big Year efforts, "Birding's Indiana Jones" and "I Came, I Saw, I Counted (in 1998)."
May 23	Drum Circle Starting at 6:30 pm Share the rhythm! Be part of a drum circle, a group of people of all ages who gather with hand drums and percussion instruments to create a rhythm together. This new voice emerges from the group as they drum together with other members of the community. The drum circle offers equality because there is no “head” and no “tail.” Group size can range from 5 to 50 drummers. Limited number of instruments available on a first-come first-served basis. If you have a favorite drum or percussion instrument, we encourage you to bring it!
