Fans of nature programs on tv will find a new program on the Discovery Channel, Sundays worth watching. The amazing stories and photography make this program an instant favorite. Oprah does the voice over, which in my opinion is the only part of the show that I didn't care for. I think Oprah is great, I just don't think she has a dynamic voice for this program, but perhaps it will grow on me as there are nine more episodes.
Airring on Sundays at 8:00 pm. Next weeks two episodes is on mammals and fish. Be sure to check out the April 4th episode on birds.
If you enjoy this show I would recomend getting a copy of Planet Earth. You can purchase a copy here

Great Hummingbird DVD
For all of those who saw Hummingbirds: Magic in Air, and are looking for some more hummingbird magic check out First Flight.
First flight follows the dedicated efforts of a tiny black-chinned hummingbird (nicknamed Honey by filmmakers Don Carroll and Noriko Carroll) to lay, incubate, and hatch two tiny raisin-sized eggs and raise the fledgling chicks. The film begins with remarkable nest-building close-ups; the soft fiber bird home rests on the Carroll's porch clothesline in Las Vegas. Inventive 360-degree macro shots follow the progress, including egg development, incubation, hatching, feedings, nest defense (including chasing away the Carrolls' cat), and first flight. Honey's protective and attentive mothering is enlivened through Noriko Carroll's informative and humorous narration and rich musical soundtrack. Order First Flight by clicking on the link below.
