Every year billions of birds set out on journeys across the globe. They travel astonishing distances, following thousands of different routes over every continent, in search of food, warmth, and their ancestral nesting grounds.
'Winged Migration' tells the fascinating stories of fifteen of these birds - from the Arctic tern, which travels all the way from the North Pole to the South Pole and back again, to the bar-headed goose, which flies over the Himalayas, the highest mountains in the world. It relates amazing facts about their flights and entertaining accounts of their interaction with the human populations they pass over.
Through engaging stories, informational maps and sidebars, and
an hour-long CD of the bird's calls, 'Winged Migration' allows readers to enter the world of birds as never before. It also takes them behind the scenes of the incredible three-year film-making adventure that resulted in the Oscar nominated
film.
