Amazing Migrations Of Some Amazing Birds

Thanks to some great deaktop wallpaper I saw at a colleague's workstation, I have found a website with a wealth of information about migrating birds. Somewhat unusually, in a sense, the starting point for this breadth of information about migration, migration patterns, migration routes, habitat, and other aspects of the birds presented, is a website promoting a major studio's film. Sony Pictures Classics released Winged Migration back in 2001 and it was met with generally favorable reviews. Great for Sony to have kept this site up for this long and, we can hope, for a while yet.

Whether or not you end up wanting to see the movie on DVD, visit the site. You can explore the movie, check out links for the birds whose migration the movie showed, and even download a few images for your desktop wallpaper, if you wish.
