Pelican Dreams: Ready to Fly!!

Judy Irving, a Sundance-and-Emmy-Award-winning filmmaker known for The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill, is coming to Sonoma. Now it's pelicans and their ancient magic, near-extinction and recovery paralleling our human relationship to the environment. One August afternoon, a confused, tired, and very hungry young pelican landed on the roadway of the Golden Gate Bridge, causing a spectacular traffic jam and providing the beginning of a perfect narrative arc for this film. Come see clips and hear from International Bird Rescue experts, who provided rehab care for "Gigi" (the pelican named for Golden Gate).
