[Tweeters] Biologist Sacha Dench

[Martha Jordan]

A hearty congratulations to her and the work she does.
    The film that was referred to: using an ultralight aircraft to follow
the migration of Bewick's swans: when I was at the International Swan
Symposium held in Jackson, WY last fall, the international group that made
the film was there. They gave us a special showing of it as it was not yet
ready for release. And it is outstanding. There is amazing footage from the
air and ground, but the storytelling is both accurate and graphic at times.
The perils these swans face are captured from power line collisions, lead
poisoning, and more.  I am hoping it gets released to the world very soon.
It was also a reminder that while it may be half a world away, the same
thing is happening here with our swans and waterbirds.
    If anyone knows where it might be shown in the near future, please
share the info.
