Three Rivers Birding Club Night at City Theater
Outlying Islands by David Grieg
pWednesday, October 20, 2004

"On the brink of World War II, two young Cambridge ornithologists arrive on a remote Scottish island to survey the birds for a government ministry, and especially to study the rare Leach's fork-tailed petrels that reside there. They discover that the purpose for their wildlife census is much more sinister than they imagined, and threatens to destroy the bird and other natural island life for decades, if not longer. Outlying Islands explores themes of natural law vs. societal conventions, the destruction imposed by civilization and so-called technological progress on wildlife and habitat conservation, and how we observe each other and are in turn observed, all through the lens of two young researchers studying the birds."
