If you saw any of the six-part series you will want to see "Earthflight, A Nature Special Presentation: Flying High". I missed the broadcast on Weds night this week, but it will be shown again 7:00 - 8:00 pm this Sunday 10/13 on TPT Life (PBS) channel 2-3 in the metro area. There are corresponding channel no's for Comcast, DirectTV, or dish. A friend saw it and it shows how the series was filmed--- capturing wild birds and putting cameras on their backs, acclimating tame birds to noise of ultralight or motorboat, etc. Anyone who has tried to photo birds knows how much time and patience and luck is required to get good pictures that everyone sees in books and calendars. Weeks and months were necessary for some of the sequences you saw.
GA _____ From: G Andersson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, August 26, 2013 5:19 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: PBS (TPT) 6 part series on bird flight starts Weds Sept 04 You might have seen the ads. "Earthflight" starts on Wednesday September 4 at 7:00 pm on channel 2-1 (2). It is repeated on Sunday September 08 on channel 2-3 (LIFE). There are six hours --- one for each continent. It starts with NAmerica, then Europe, then Africa.. "State-of-the-art technology truly shows the world from a bird's eye view." I imagine it will include a lot of special effects of birds against different aerial landscapes, but I hope it is better than that. (call me old-fashioned) Should be good regardless.
