This is a must see for any birder (or non birder for that matter). It is hilarious, and why wouldn’t it be with a cast of Steve Marin, Owen Wilson and Jack Black. "The Big Year" presents a lighthearted yet engaging look into the world of birdwatching through the lives of three birders as they compete for the highest number of bird species seen in a year.

This is a documentary, and a documentary that will truly hold your attention, because it is narrated by Emmy Award-winner Stephen Fry. "Dancing with the Birds" is visually captivating, it explores the intricate courtship rituals of avian species around the globe - with a humous twist. It is very entertaining for the birder and non birder. As with the Big Year, I have seen this multiple times.

I watched this last night. There is a lot of violence in this movie, not really my “cup of tea”, but I did enjoy the art and playing “name that owl species”. I also liked the scene where the owlet tossed his first pellet.

"Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" is an animated fantasy of a young barn owl, who is kidnapped by a group of evil owls known as the Pure Ones. Determined to rescue his kidnapped brother and enlist the help of legendary warriors known as the Guardians, Soren navigates a world filled with danger and adventure.

I saw this a few years ago, need to watch it again. It is a documentary that is probably more for the birder, not sure how much a non birder will enjoy it - but try it and prove me wrong. "The Central Park Effect" is a documentary that explores the phenomenon of urban birdwatching in one of New York City's most famous green spaces. The film highlights the diverse array of bird species that inhabit Central Park and examines the passionate community of birders who flock to the park to observe and document these avian visitors.

This is a Pixar short film, only a little over 3 minutes long. It is cute, and should put a smile on your face.

I watched this a couple years ago, I believe this documentary is probably more for the serious birder.
