An Original Duckumentary

Ducks are true originals. They waddle, glide, dive, and dabble, and their feathers shimmer with dazzling hues, brilliant iridescence, and come in every color of the rainbow. There are more than 120 different species of ducks in all, a fantastical group of complex characters with names to match - Buffleheads, Canvasbacks, Pintails, Shovelers, Widgeons, and Woodies.

Ducks are born knowing how to survive - how to swim, what to eat, how to find it, and where to fly in the winter. They must make it through a gauntlet of hungry predators, just waiting for a tasty little duckling to swim by. Even when grown, most ducks are still small enough to be vulnerable, but in the end, ducks have a talent for survival, and life stories filled with personality and charm.

Take to the skies with a flock of green-winged teal. Watch Wood ducks raise a family. Learn why Goldeneyes head north in the winter. Jump into South American rapids with Torrent ducks. Meet some Redhead ducklings and their foster mother. Dive with little Ruddies and admire their enormous feet.

Each bird is more fun than the last, and will leave you wanting more.

Wonderful Show

I happened to be flipping channels last night and saw the preview for Nature: Animal Odd Couples and it was something I was interested in so I watched it. It was so informative and emotional for any animal lover. I found myself connecting with the animals and feeling for them. There were couples most would never think of. It really gives a different story than most would expect. I instantly wanted to find out if I could get it on DVD. Sure enough here it is! I will be buying it today. Check it out!!

PBS NATURE: An Original Duckumentary

As an elementary school librarian and natural scientist, I found this program to be an ideal source of information for kids and teachers alike. I am purchasing the DVD for my private collection. I will use it to expand study of Robert McCloskys Caldecott Award winning book Make Way For Ducklings. What a charming presentation of serious science!
