On Tuesday, February 5, Backyard Wilderness will surprise and entertain viewers with the unexpected delights of nature that are in our own neighborhoods and communities. Spanning a seasonal year around a suburban home, the film displays a stunning array of unique wildlife imagery and behavior – all captured by cameras mounted inside dens and nests and moving along forest floors and pond bottoms. The film reveals the animal inhabitants in rare and breathtaking detail. The film reminds us that Wi-Fi is not the only connection that matters and that sometimes in ordinary places, you can uncover extraordinary things that can transform you forever – you just need to step outside.
The Museum Historian will present stories of naval aviation history as the Museum Curator and Museum Archivist share artifacts from the museum’s extensive historical collection.
Doors open at 9 a.m. Presentation begins at 9:30 a.m. followed by a movie at 10 a.m. Cost for breakfast is $10 per person and tickets are available for purchase at the Giant Screen Theater ticket counter. The movie lineup is as follows and is subject to change:
February 5………Backyard Wilderness
February 12 ……Jerusalem
February 19…….Cuba
February 26…….America’s Musical Journey
