The Life of Birds<br />
Of all of David Attenborough’s famous and fabulous surveys of life, this<br />
one on the life of birds is his best – perhaps because Attenborough loved<br />
birds the most. His look at winged creatures is quirky, intelligent, deep,<br />
and memorable. It nicely serves as a brilliant short course in ornithology,<br />
or as a mesmerizing way to keep restless human young tamed for hours<br />
because he reveals one amazing thing after another. You can find nature<br />
films round the clock on cable; this series is simply in a class by itself,<br />
worth re-watching many times. Intense Birds is how I think of it.<br />
That’s a huge nest<br />
(above) constructed by<br />
a colony of birds who<br />
use the communal heat<br />
to stay warm in the cold<br />
desert nights. Delivering<br />
his heady lectures<br />
standing adjacent to the<br />
wild energy of animals is<br />
Attenborough’s signature.<br />
