Connecticut Bobolink and Wildlife Festival: Session 3: The Making of The Fledgling 4 Lunch Workshop In-Person
Joe Gowac, a second grader teacher, took up wildlife photography about eight years ago. His “spark” bird was when he captured an action shot of a diving osprey. His drone shot of the Arrigoni Bridge in Portland Connecticut, became an official U.S. Postage Stamp in 2023. Joe filmed his first full length video production called The Fledgling 4. In this documentary, Joe followed a family of Barred Owls for 100 straight days from March to late June 2024. This was Joe’s first attempt at a full length video production. The Fledgling 4 was a finalist at the Wildlife Conservation Film Festival. Recently, The Fledgling 4 won Best Documentary at the 2025 Providence Children's Film Festival.
The Connecticut Bobolink and Wildlife Festival is made possible with grants from Connecticut Ornithological Society and Hartford Audubon Society and a partnership with the Durham Library and Birding For Pleasure in Durham & Middlefield.
