I particulary enjoyed they way they showed the many perils to migration.
Some birds died of natural causes while others died from hunters. And
though I have a personal dislike toward hunting I didn't take away from the
film a particular bias on the part of the producers, though I suspect
they're anti-hunting. Yes, pretty incredible shot.
