they do it just for fun.
But wherever rays are fishing...
...there's food for pelicans too.
On a good day, their pouches...
...can trap three gallons
of fish and water...
...in a single gulp.
Like most birds, the pelican's seasonal
journeys are driven both by food...
...and the desire to breed.
[HONKING]
Back in the U.S.A...
...the snow geese
have traveled northwards nonstop...
...for over a thousand miles.
Exhaustion is already taking its toll.
Ahead lies their greatest challenge.
Monument Valley in Arizona.
For a tired family...
...this unforgiving desert
The valley is all that is left
of an ancient seabed...
...but there's no water here now.
The pinnacles were formed
through the action of wind.
Some now rise a thousand feet
above the valley oor.
For the migrating birds...
...this awe-inspiring landscape...
...provides no comfort at all.
The effort is relentless.
[AIR WHISTLING]
...their wings beat three times.
Once their fat reserves are gone...
...they will start to metabolize muscle.
But despite the young birds' fatigue...
...the parents must keep
to a tight schedule...
...to reach their nesting grounds
with enough time to breed.
They drive...
They have no plans
to break the grueling journey.
But birds are masters
of the wind and air.
And the sandstone buttresses
deflect the slightest breeze...
[WIND RUSTLING]
...giving the family a free ride
to the main flock above.
But they still have another...
...thousand miles to go.
[HONKING]
For countless other travelers...
...their migration has barely begun.
On the southern tip of Africa...
...a bird's-eye view
of Cape Town's Table Mountain...
...gives no hint of what's stirring
in the seas far offshore.
Beneath the waves...
...the greatest fish migration
on the planet has begun...
...and Cape gannets...
...are already on its trail.
[CAWING]
The gannets have thousands
of square miles of ocean to search...
...so they need help
in tracking them down.
The common dolphin...
[BELLOWS]
...a creature
with an unrivaled knowledge...
...of the undersea world.
The two species work as a team,
sharing their specialized skills.
Dolphins search beneath the waves...
...while the gannets
are the eyes in the sky.
It's the bird's view
that first spots...
...the hidden gathering.
...at 70 miles per hour.
[CAWING]
Sixty feet down, they reach their target:
But at this depth,
the sardines are a struggle to catch.
The gannets come up with nothing.
