NATURE | Attenborough's Life Stories | Revealing Kestrel Flight | PBS

Duration: 01:26
Program: Nature #3007
Broadcast Date: Jan. 22, 2013

Kestrels are known as wind hoverers because of the birds' ability to hang motionless in the air. Sir David Attenborough shows us, using slow motion photography, details of their flying technique that we can't see with the naked eye. "Attenborough's Life Stories: Life on Camera" premieres Wednesday, January 23 at 8/7c (check local listings) and is part of the 31st season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen in association with WNET for PBS. Major support provided by Canon USA Inc.
