"Central Park Effect" is really good.
Also, for a bit more fun in a fictional vein, try "A Birder's Guide to
Everything," which is a charming coming-of-age movie involving the putative
re-discovery of an extinct bird. Much better than "The Big Year."

I agree wholeheartedly with Rob's suggestions. *The Life of Birds* is
excellent. Two of my favorite films are *Gulf Crossing,* which is no
longer available on DVD, but is free online - here's a link.

The second is one called *Birders - The Central Park Effect,* a one-hour
documentary that takes you through 4 seasons of birding at Central Park
with lots of human interest thrown in.

*Subject:* [birdky] Question - got recommendations for bird DVDs?
Good day, good bird-loving people. Gotta question for ya.
Do any of you have recommendations for DVDs that would be appropriate for
use as a "bird program?" I'd like to purchase one/more DVDs of up to
one-hour length (shorter duration fine, too) that would be suitable for
sharing with senior citizens and/or school kids. Don't want anything too
technical but something that will foster greater appreciation of birds.
I find 4-hour 2-DVD Audubon program and plenty of "Birds of .... various
states" DVDs (but not KY) and am getting tired of searching - so I'm
turning to you folks for any recommendations. Thank you.
