Please join us for refreshments and lively conversation on the Tuesday prior to the Festival for a book signing and special presentation Winging It: Birds and Other California Travelers.
Kim Weir, author of Moon Handbooks’ Northern California and other travel guides, and Laura Wells, an avid and knowledgeable “birder” will discuss California’s migrating birds and other resident and migratory wildlife.
They will provide a free mini-guide to California’s animal migrations and a map to show where to watch migrations. Kim will also talk about her travel writing and the importance of “conscious travel.”

Fly Away Home. Director Carroll Ballard returns to the form of his classic The Black Stallion with this heartwarming, stunningly photographed tale about a father and daughter who train a flock of abandoned geese to follow their ultralight planes from Canada to a winter home in North Carolina.
Amy (Anna Paquin) is reunited with her father (Jeff Daniels) after her mother’s death. She withdraws from her new life until she finds a reason to participate in something: the preservation, parenting, and eventual migration-instruction of a flock of orphaned geese. |
