4 out of 5 stars Raptors   August 28, 2007
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Well documented and informative,but could have been moreso.
Recommended viewing to anyone interested in basic info.



3 out of 5 stars Interesting but very technical and has old film footage   June 18, 2006
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

The film quality is good for a home movie, but with a lot of old, grainy film footage of predatory birds from the movie projector days. It still is interesting. I found it a little too technical, with too few good sequences of bird flight and observance. More for a bird identification enthusiast. Doesn't come close to David Attenborough's 'Life of Birds'.


5 out of 5 stars Not just shots from a migration site, either   June 6, 2006
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I totally agree with the previous reviewers. Spectacular footage,
beautiful too. The commentary is marvellous and accessible to all
ages. And you can't beat the price either.

This is not a good video for identifying migrating raptors; it's
much more than that. For one thing, it has the best active hunting
shots I have seen.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent field guide on DVD   April 15, 2005
 15 out of 15 found this review helpful

Species by species footage and facts of raptors including owls. The footage is just incredible. Tips on finding birds and observing birds and you can't beat the price of the DVD.


5 out of 5 stars pretty amazing stuff   March 4, 2004
 21 out of 23 found this review helpful

This dvd is one of the best nature and bird watching dvds around. I have seen "Winged Migration" and this is just as good if not better. This one is good for the hardcore enthusiast but also a nice introduction for casual bird people, or even for kids that want to learn a new hobby.

Very exciting footage of some of the most unique creatures around. TWO THUMBS UP!!
