Keynote Speech by Pete Dunne "Golden Wings" begins at 7:15. Once upon a time, an inquisitive young boy from Jamestown, New York, went exploring Sweed Hill. He came upon a bird that he thought dead but it sprang to life at the touch of his finger. It was an encounter between living things that changed the earth. But what about heaven?
Join us as Pete Dunne explores the life and legacy of Roger Tory Peterson, history's greatest teacher naturalist, offering us his insights as a colleague and friend. Pete was counted among Roger Peterson's "adopted sons" and shared with him the adventure of the first World Series of Birding where they were teammates. "Golden Wings" promises to keep you guessing and keep you entertained whether you are an experienced birder, a new birder, or not even a birder.
