Winged Migration on the large screen works as a grand substitute for catching the annual Audubon Society nature walk in the park.

an amazing technical achievement, as the cameras get so close to the birds you would almost swear you could reach out and touch their feathers.

efilmcritic.com (Collin Souter)
Like the subject of Mother Nature herself, you could complain and fixate on certain nagging elements, but if you do it too much you might miss the over-all beauty of it. Best to just let the movie, and nature, work its magic on you.
