Wings Over Water, narrated by Michael Keaton, tells the compelling story of three amazing bird species-the sandhill crane, the yellow warbler and the mallard duck-with extraordinary footage of their fascinating behaviors. Today, these largely unknown water highways remain an oasis for wildlife, from the herds of bison that still roam part of the Great Plains to the swaying grasslands, wildflowers, and vital honeybees that pollinate our crops, and especially for the millions of magnificent birds that migrate along these “flyways.” Wings Over Water: The Vital Magic of North America's Prairie Wetlands will be available everywhere books are sold beginning Apand is available for pre-order here. The film is embarking on a 55-city tour to promote the release of the motion picture.As the glaciers retreated at the end of the last ice age, they left an astounding gift of connected rivers, lakes, and wetlands across the heartland of North America. Wings Over Water immerses the reader into one of earth's most important ecosystems, following the breeding and migrations of sandhill cranes, mallards, and yellow warblers from their southern wintering grounds back to the prairie wetlands to nest and raise the next generation of the species. The Prairie Pothole Region is critical breeding and nesting habitat for the birds of North America – over 60 percent of America's ducks are hatched there, as well as hundreds of other shore and song birds.
Just in time for Earth Day 2022, Wings Over Water celebrates and promotes the preservation of the prairie wetlands and the birds that live and breed there. The book features 300 still photographs captured during filming of the latest IMAX film, accompanied by essays from the experts in conservation, bird and wildlife experts. Wings Over Water is a joint venture with The National Audubon Society, the world's oldest non-profit environmental organization dedicated to conservation of birds and their habitat Ducks Unlimited, the world's largest nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats and the Max McGraw Wildlife Foundation, which works to secure the future of hunting, fishing and land management through programs of science, education, demonstration and communication. This stunning coffee table book is the printed companion to the soon-to-be-released IMAX movie of the same name, narrated by actor Michael Keaton.
