"Monty and Rose" screening

I am a lifelong birder and a past Board member of Chicago Ornithological Society. I am Founder/CEO of Turnstone Strategies and write the This Week in Birding newsletter. I made a film called "Monty and Rose" about a pair of endangered piping plovers.

Bob Dolgan

This is the fifth screening of "Monty and Rose" - !
"Monty and Rose" tells the story of a pair of endangered piping plovers that successfully nested at Chicago's Montrose Beach in the summer of 2019, the first of the species to nest in Chicago in 64 years. The short, independent documentary chronicles these special birds and an unpredictable series of events including a proposed music festival that propelled the birds to national headlines. "Monty and Rose" features interviews with an array of key players in the story, including biologists, birders, volunteers and the advocates who spoke out when the music festival was proposed. "Monty and Rose" is an independent project, funded through the generous support of backers on Kickstarter.
