| May 6 Award-Winning Documentary: The Messenger |
| THE MESSENGER is an artful investigation into the causes of songbird mass depletion and the compassionate people who are working to turn the tide. The film takes viewers on a visually stunning journey revealing how the problems facing birds also pose daunting implications for our planet and ourselves. . Su Rynard?s wide-ranging and contemplative documentary THE MESSENGER explores our deep-seated connection to birds and warns that the uncertain fate of songbirds might mirror our own. Moving from the northern reaches of the Boreal Forest to wetlands near Mount Ararat to the streets of New York City, THE MESSENGER brings us face-to-face with a remarkable variety of human-made perils that have devastated these airborne music-makers. |

| May 10 Suds & Science at the Norwich Inn |
| Only one bird species is known to regularly nest on glaciers. In the 1950s, White-winged Diuca-Finches (Diuca speculifera) were sighted going into a Bolivian glacier at night to roost. Since then very little has been published, and little is known about the species. Beginning in 2003, we have been observing this species in Peru at Quelccaya Ice Cap, the largest tropical glacier on Earth. This month we are returning to Quelccaya on a mission to learn more about diucas, as part of a quasi-secret, two-week effort to document every aspect of their lives on film. Our presentation will discuss the excitement and complications of such work, at elevations over 17,000 feet. With warmer-than-normal conditions, and snow accumulation at 29% of normal for early April, will the birds nest earlier? Will this be a particularly successful breeding season for diucas? What will we learn about the many other species inhabiting the wetlands around Quelccaya? Join us for answers to these questions and more, just days after our return from Peru! |

| May 21 Osher: Sex, Pregnancy and the Supreme Court Constitutional Rights of Women |
| David Bisno studied constitutional law at the Law School of the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA and at the Harvard Law School with Professor Laurence Tribe. He has honed his ability to help lay audiences understand the complexities of constitutional law - the interpretation of "those wise restraints which make men free." The discussion on Saturday, May 21st, looking at the history of women's rights and the present challenges the Court faces, is expected to be lively and provocative. David Bisno, retired ophthalmologist with degrees from Harvard, Dartmouth and the Washington University School of Medicine, has been leading discussion groups on a myriad of topics within institutes for lifelong learning in this country and overseas for 23 years. Having presented 26 different, full courses for OSHER@Dartmouth (formerly ILEAD) since 1993, he now engages us each year with an incisive look at the Supreme Court. |
