@Nofarewell ....Yes. The movie is a fiction but many of the facts were gleaned from this project and from Lishman and other real characters. For three seasons (1993, 1994, 1995) geese were raised and led on migration behind planes. During the last season, the birds did double duty as actors in the movie and as subjects of this migration experiment. I was part of the team for the experiment.
i miss hatching baby chickens and having them imprint on me. i was like 4 years old and my mom had a incubator and one of the chicks hatched and saw me when it hatched so it thought i was its mommy and it used to follow me around in the house all the time.
Bill Lishman is the Renaissance man of our time. I followed a link to his website because I was interested in seeing his underground home (which is AMAZING), and I only learned about his migratory activities later. A truly inspring individual.
