<div class="Wj3C7c"><br>I have just received this message from my friend, Dr. Lincoln Brower, world<br>renowned monarch butterfly researcher. I thought some of you might enjoy<br>viewing this outstanding documentary. Given that it is being aired in a<br>
couple of weeks, you may wish to inform your friends and fellow naturalists<br>electronically or at your next general membership meeting. The original film<br>maker and film company are based in Toronto:<br><br>"The long awaited US showing of "The Incredible Journey of the Butterflies"<br>
will be aired on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 at 8 pm on PBS. !!! Lots of info<br>at their website: <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/butterflies/" target="_blank">http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/butterflies/</a><br><br>There's a two-minute online segment featuring our butterfly research<br>
buddies/heroes Drs Chip Taylor, , Lincoln Brower and Bill Calvert. Also<br>included are an online interview with film maker, Nick de Pencier, a listing<br>of monarch links and books and even a service to get an email reminder of<br>
its airing date.<br><br>Please post this announcement to your local community (after checking your<br>local PBS airing time) to school teachers, nature groups, scouts, church<br>bulletins, local newspapers, etc.<br><br>Lincoln Brower"<br>
<br>For your information, this documentary was was originally entitled "Four<br>Wings and a Prayer", after the book with the same title. Nova purchased the<br>rights to this documentary, has shortened it and added new footage. "Four<br>
Wings and a Prayer" has won awards in Los Angeles and Houston, and most<br>recently won in June 9, 2008 the Rockie Award for Best Wildlife and Natural<br>History Program at the Banff World Television Festival.<br><br>
Please note that local PBS stations usually air a NOVA episode at least one<br>more time after the initial airing (i.e. a 12 am viewing a few days later!),<br>so check the viewing times for your local or cable PBS station.<br>
<br>In the Toronto area, we receive PBS programs via WNED Buffalo (Rogers Cable<br>61) or UHF Channel 17 by antenna.<br><br>I had the pleasure of working with film maker Nick de Pencier in the making<br>of this documentary back about 2005. Unfortunately, my footage and some<br>
related to Day of the Dead has edited out to shorten the film, but some new<br>spectacular footage has been added.<br><br>Don Davis<br>Toronto, ON<br><br>Life Member<br>Federation of Ontario Naturalists<br>Friends of Presqu'ile Park<br>
