Raptors.......2007-08-28

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

Interesting but very technical and has old film footage.......2006-06-18

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'.

Not just shots from a migration site, either.......2006-06-06

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.

Excellent field guide on DVD.......2005-04-15

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.

pretty amazing stuff.......2004-03-04

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!!

AWESOME!!!!!.......2007-05-12

I have experienced both shows on my local PBS station. Raptors is so
amazing and just gets better with repeated viewing.
Winged Migration is the closest follow up to BARAKA, yet. Get this set.
Unbelievable, breathless, makes you yearn to fly. No narration, just music and an inspirational journey. Winged Migration makes
the human race look so shameful - to see what these migratory birds must
face in order to make their annual roundtrip - Like the film, An Inconvenient Truth, we owe it these creatures to clean up the mess on this planet if we wish to survive. If the animals die because of our
pollutions, then we too are doomed.
Amazon, hurry up and get this set so I can buy it!!!!!
