Bird Movie at the Normal Theater! Listers: A Glimpse into Extreme Birdwatching

Calling all birders and movie goers alike! Join the Grand Prairie Bird Alliance at the Normal Theatre on February 17 at 7pm for a movie like no other!

Follow brothers Owen and Quentin Reiser on their Big Year quest to see as many bird species as possible across America. Undaunted by their lack of bird watching experience, and fueled by a DIY attitude, Owen and Quentin not only saw 579 bird species – they also created a hilarious, heartwarming documentary that has inspired countless people to get out into nature and appreciate wildlife. Screening this movie in cooperation with the Town of Normal is just one way we are helping the Town meet its goals as a designated “Bird City Illinois” community, which seeks to make Normal a better place for birds through habitat restoration, education, and inspiration.

Door prizes will be available compliments of the Grand Prairie Bird Alliance, which works closely with the Town on many bird initiatives.

This documentary includes some swearing and mentions of drug use, so folks with kids may want to do a bit of research in advance.
