About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a calm, people-focused nature documentary with lots of bird sightings and personal reflections; Not for you if you dislike low-stakes storytelling or prefer a more driven, goal-oriented doc like In Search of Greatness.
Pros: beautiful bird footage; peaceful, uplifting mood; engaging New Yorker stories | Cons: species not consistently labeled; uneven reactions; some find it cringeworthy
