The beautiful shots of San Francisco's lush Telegraph Hill are captivating by themselves, but the film's greatest achievement is its humanity.

A bright window into the wild kingdom just outside our door that most of us barely notice, if at all.

A cornball charmer of a film with some beautiful birds and homespun wisdom.

Charming, intelligent entertainment that should attract the same family audiences that flocked to Winged Migration in 2001.

An absolute delight and nothing like the wimpy nature film its title suggests. It's a soaring -- figuratively and literally -- documentary with a surprising emotional power.
