LAKEPORT, Calif. – “Ghost Bird,” a nonfiction feature film about the search in Arkansas for an extinct giant woodpecker, screens at the Soper-Reese Theatre at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 21.
Appearing in person to introduce the film is director/producer, Scott Crocker.
Admission is free. The event is sponsored by the Redbud Chapter of the Audubon Society.
Brinkley, Arkansas, is a tiny town in the eastern part of the state that went woodpecker crazy after the famous bird was or wasn’t seen there in 2005.
An inconclusive bit of video helped start the mania, and the town did its best to capitalize on the excitement with a woodpecker gift shop, a woodpecker hamburger and even a woodpecker haircut.
The awardwinning documentary, appropriate for adults and high school and college students, has been shown at film festivals in New York, San Francisco, Toronto and Rome, where audiences were captivated by Crocker’s terrific sense of timing and expert story telling.
“Ghost Bird” is oddly compelling, whether you are a bird watcher or even if you have no particular interest in birds.
More information is available at www.redbudaudubon.org, at www.SoperReeseTheatre.com or call Theatre Box Office at 707-263-0577.
The Soper-Reese Community Theatre is a restored, historic, performing arts venue established in 1949 and seating 300 patrons.
Run by an all-volunteer organization, the theatre operates under the guidance of the non-profit Lake County Arts Council.
The Soper-Reese brings dance, music, plays and poetry to all members of the Lake County community and to visiting tourists.
The theater is located at 275 Main St., Lakeport.

The event is being conducted under a special use permit issued by the Forest Service to the Oakland Motorcycle Club.
There are additional enduro events planned for the Fouts Springs area on the Grindstone Ranger District.
These events are scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 14, by the Valley Climbers and Sunday, Nov. 21, by the Richmond Ramblers.
On the Upper Lake Ranger District, the Cowbell Enduro by the Hayward Motorcycle Club is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 7. All events are being conducted through special use permits.
These events are being held on designated roads and off-highway vehicle (OHV) trails. The courses are not closed, meaning the roads will remain open for public use.
However, Forest visitors are encouraged to be aware if they are recreating in the Fouts Springs area:
Watch for signs indicating the event area.
Pay close attention to signs indicating the route and the direction of travel – the event consists of one-way loops. If you are using part of the enduro route, you are encouraged to travel in the same direction, going with the flow.
Listen for traffic and, if driving, open the driver side window enough to be able to hear engine noise that may be approaching.
If you are driving, avoid cutting corners and stay to the right on the roads. For other recreational uses, avoid lingering on roads and watch for traffic.
“The Mendocino National Forest, like other public lands, is managed for multiple uses,” said Grindstone District Ranger Eduardo Olmedo. “We want the public to have a safe and enjoyable recreation experience on the Forest. Visitors should be aware of these events and be able to plan their weekend activities accordingly.”
These events typically draw hundreds of motorcycle riders and spectators to the area. Campgrounds near the event location are likely to fill up quickly.
The water for the Fouts Springs Recreation Area is currently shut off until further notice. As a result, the dump station at the site is also closed until further notice.
Forest visitors in this area will need to bring water with them for both potable use, including drinking, as well as for any other needs.
For more information, please contact the Forest at 530-934-3316 or visit www.fs.fed.us/r5/mendocino.
