Adventures In Birdwatching Disc 1: Florida Wading Birds (2000)

Index

In this episode you'll visit Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge in Sanibel, Florida known for its glamorous wading birds such as Roseate Spoonbills, Great Blue Herons, Double Crested Cormorant, and Red-shouldered Hawks.

Peter's DVD rating: This 2-disc set takes viewers on an easy stroll through this many birding hotspots. Overall the educational values are fairly low; Ken mostly marvels at the birds and does not even bother to identify most of them. The photography is also mediocre, especially the birds in forests.
