Giving new meaning to the term “bird’s-eye view,” innovative filmmaker John Downer mounted cameras on the backs of eagles, cranes, pelicans, and snow geese to show how the landscape below looks to them as they migrate, roost, and search for food. In gorgeous three-dimensional footage, the birds wing their way across America, Africa, and Europe. Especially vivid are sequences involving wild flamingos in a synchronized dance, geese over New York City, and an eagle scoping the Grand Canyon. A two-hour special.
