Winged Migration:
Chapter 1: Start
4:33 minutes
For eighty million years, birds have ruled the skies, seas, and earth. Each spring, they fly vast distances. Each fall, they fly the same routes back.
This film is the result of 4 years following their amazing odysseys, in the northern hemisphere and then the southern hemisphere, species by species, flying over each continent.
No special effects were used in the filming of the birds.
