Let me add one point I haven't seen on the list. I saw the film in
Ithaca NY on Sunday night. I thoroughly enjoyed it for the reasons
others have listed. But for those with small kids you should know
that there is an underlyiing subtheme of how fragile bird life is and
how humans find ways to injure or kill such fragile wildlife
(pictures of birds being shot, getting caught in pollution near an
industrial plant in Eastern Europe, etc.)

I saw it last week at the Shirlington, in Arlington, and would give it
an
outstanding grade, worth the 100 mile round trip. None who love and
enjoy birds
should miss it.
The French-made documentary avoids excessive narration--the
ruination
of too many wildlife films, and attempts no silly fictional
"storyline" the
bane of others I have seen.
And it will leave the viewer wondering, "How the dickens did they
get
that shot?"
There is coverage of bird migrations in the Americas,
Europe-and-Africa
and in Asia.
It contains information, yet is chiefly a feature docu-film.
