For those of you who didn't see the footage on NBC NEWS this evening, a new two 
hour program called Winged Planet will air at 8:00 p.m. Saturday night on the 
Discovery channel. It's not one that has been shown before. It follows birds in 
flight to different locations, but it covers more than just birds. The footage 
is absolutely spectacular. From what was said in the program trailer every type 
of flying equipment was put into use in the making of this film. One small, 
evidently remote controlled, machine that was flying low over a marsh was 
something I had never seen before. Some of the footage was also taken from 
cameras mounted on tame geese and falcons. The fantastic quality seems to be 
similar to that in the film series, Planet Earth. 

Now, if the program just isn't interrupted every 5 minutes with commercials the 
way Planet Earth was, it should be a great program.

Thanks to Larry Pinson for sending me the info concerning channel and time, 
which I missed. I think I was too absorbed with the great bird footage to 
listen to what was being said.
