[CAWING]
NARRATOR:
It's a universal dream...
...to y like a bird.
To soar on wings into the heavens.
[HONKS]
But it's nothing compared to the reality.
[AIR WHISTLING]
Experience our planet as never before:
Through the eyes of birds.
[PEEPING]
This is a journey
that will embrace the world.
on feathered wings.
It's a fantastic voyage...
...following the changing seasons...
...and taking in some
of the greatest events on Earth.
Experience a year
in the life of our planet...
...from the lush tropics...
...to the frozen North...
...and catch a glimpse of our world...
...as never before:
From a bird's-eye view.
[HONKING]
It's spring in North America...
...and families of snow geese
begin an epic 2000-mile journey...
...across the continent.
[STEAMBOAT HORN BLARING]
They've spent the winter
in the far South, but now...
...they have to fly
all the way to the Arctic to breed.
They won't be traveling alone.
[HONKING]
They join other snow geese families...
...united by a common goal.
The ock grows in strength...
...until snow geese...
...fill the sky.
Then hundreds become thousands.
Within a few days...
...their ranks are over a million strong.
They gather at these
traditional staging posts...
...to wait for the perfect weather
and favorable winds...
...that will help power their migration.
They become a vast army...
...ready to take over a continent.
[HONKING]
...so do predators.
The bald eagle.
America's national bird.
A creature of cunning and power...
...and the Hook's greatest enemy.
There is safety in numbers.
Many eyes to watch for danger.
They react as one...
...the message rippling
through the ock.
The eagle appears spoiled for choice.
But it's not that easy.
Their sheer numbers confuse the predator.
They form a blizzard of geese...
...impossible to target or see through.
[AIR WHISTLING]
She must try her luck elsewhere.
[DUCK QUACKING]
[SCREECHING]
True skill comes from years of practice.
What goes down
must come up.
[DUCK SQUAWKING]
With a fair wind blowing...
...the snow geese
take their cue to leave.
[HONKING]
They become part
of a spring migration...
...across a greening continent...
...one that features
millions of other birds.
In Europe, common cranes
crossing the Mediterranean...
...lead a similar mass
invasion from Africa.
Like snow geese,
they travel as a family...
from the knowledge of their parents.
They'll spend the next three weeks
traveling to their breeding grounds...
...on a continent now blossoming with life.
[HONKING]
They follow traditional routes,
a flight path that, for many...
...includes Western Europe's
largest river delta.
The Camargue in France.
Below are the famous white horses...
...an ancient breed...
...that has roamed
the sea marshes for centuries.
[HORSES WHINNYING]
[WHINNYING]
As well as horses...
...the marshes provide shelter
for a wealth of birdlife.
Four hundred varieties in all.
to Northern Europe.
They still have a journey
of 1500 miles to go.
[HONKS]
To keep on course...
...birds use a magnetic sense...
...that tells them their position
at any one time.
They also use the sun
as a compass point...
...even allowing for its changing position
as it arcs across the sky.
But despite a sophisticated
navigation system...
...they prefer to trust their eyes.
Landmarks, such as Chateau
de Chenonceau in the Loire Valley..
...are used as a guide
from year to year.
