HIGH-SPEED HUNTERS | Tracking Bald Eagles On The Waterfowl Flyways | Wild America

Step inside the battle for survival across North America, from the soaring migrations of waterfowl to the high-altitude ecosystem of Yellowstone. Witness the epic journey of ducks and geese flying thousands of miles along the continent's major flyways, revealing the unique feeding tactics of "dabblers" like the Pintail and deep-diving "divers" like the Canvasback. We examine the constant threat of apex predators, including the Bald Eagle, that follow these massive flocks, and look at the surprising role human hunters play in funding the very wetlands where these birds live. Then, we travel to Yellowstone Lake, the largest high-elevation lake of its kind, to study the cutthroat trout, a cornerstone species that faces a trio of specialized predators: the fish-focused Osprey, the generalist Bald Eagle, and the mature-trout-eating White Pelican. Learn why the trout's behavior in this unique lake is "backward," a rare survival strategy in the wild. Finally, we go to the ground to observe the secretive social life of the Bob White Quail. Watch their critical defensive behavior as their small groups, called cubbies, huddle into a tight circle each night for warmth and all-around predator detection. This is an intense, intimate look at the ingenious survival strategies of birds and fish against the relentless forces of nature.
