My Thoughts
I always enjoy watching documentaries with my children because they're actually leaning something from them. Eagle Power gives you a bird's eye view of the life of our feathered friends. You'll see majestic eagles, and follow their flights, watch them gather and build their nests, and watch them perform acrobatics in the sky that will rival anything you'll see in the Olympics. You're all learn about their connection to Native Americans and all the various species.
This documentary is stunning and educational. It gives you a real sneak peek into the life of eagles, allowing you to see them and appreciate them in so many ways. My children loved it just as much as I did. Watching Eagle Power brings quality to family move night and teaches children to admire and appreciate all that Mother Nature has to offer. If you want to grab a copy of this amazing DVD for your library, you can find them in stores nationwide, at PBS, or on Amazon.
