This remains by far the best short film on Audubon (better than the much longer recent movie by Bullfrog Films), with rather beautiful and soothing Nature scenes and music. It covers the "essential" details of Audubon's history as the premier American ornithologist of all time, in about 30 min. A remarkable achievemt by the National Gallery of Arts. On 12/7/2010, Sotheby's auctioned off the Hesketh's Audubon BOA volumes in London for $11.56 million (with buyer's premium) - - a world record !

Fascinating! Well worth sticking with through a rather slow start. My only quibble is that hardly any of the many birds are named.
