Birdwatching: Classic Movies about Birds
Bringing Migration into Focus: Winged Migration
This is a stunning magnificent classic movie about the migration of birds both in spring and fall, when birds fly hundreds even thousands of miles as they navigate by the stars, sun, gravitational fields and landmarks to follow food sources and mate. The limited narration informs as needed, but the stars of the film are the birds themselves and how they were filmed. The soundtrack is lovely and memorable. If you haven’t seen it, take an hour, kick back and enjoy and if you have, it’s worth a second or third viewing.
