Haunting the Pond: A Year of Film-making
Two films and a talk

Focusing on one small piece of nature can produce exciting--and 
sometimes surprising--results. For over a year, Hamden film maker 
Florence McBride, an educator and enthusiastic birder, has 
concentrated on a local three-acre wooded property and its glacial 
kettle pond. During 2006, she observed nearly 100 species of birds 
there and developed several short films from many hours of footage.

The program includes a viewing of two of these films, along with a 
behind-the-scenes look with film maker McBride at the aesthetic and 
practical decisions of shooting, narration and editing that went into 
producing them.

This program is part of the 2007/2008 John H. Ostrom Program Series 
"Nature in Art" at the Yale Peabody Museum.
