The Redfish Revue will screen documentaries originally broadcast by the Nova wildlife series, Animal Imposters and Mysteries of Animal Pathways, at 3 and 7 p.m. Saturday.

The 1982 film Animal Imposters takes a look at animals that use unusual disguises. The second film observes animals such as bats, birds and eels, which migrate.

The theater, a conference room, has a big screen television with surround sound.

Redfish Revue Theatre is every third Saturday of the month. Bring a blanket or pillow, if you desire, for family-style television viewing. Bring your own popcorn and a drink.

A schedule of upcoming movies for the rest of the year is available in the Visitor Center.

Crystal River Preserve State Park's Visitor Center is at 3266 N Sailboat Ave. Take U.S. 19 three-fourths of a mile north of the Crystal River Mall. Turn left onto State Park Drive at the Days Inn. Follow State Park until it dead ends and turns left and becomes Sailboat Avenue. Follow Sailboat Avenue until it dead ends at the Crystal River.

Crystal River Preserve State Park, formally Crystal River State Buffer Preserve, is on approximately 30,000 acres of coastal Citrus County.

The state park did not suffer any damage from Tropical Storm Alberto, said a staffer.

The park offers fishing, hiking, biking, bird watching and a Visitor Center with live animal displays, six dioramas depicting local habitats, and a conference room where movies and educational programs are offered free to the public. For more information call 563-0450.
