Each episode explores a different realm of the animal kingdom and the remarkable biological systems that make life on Earth possible.

You'll marvel at a hummingbird's unique skeletal, muscular and metabolic systems -- all vital to its spectacular aerial acrobatics. The endurance and navigational abilities of an Arctic tern as it travels from pole to pole during the longest migration on the planet. The instinctive strategies that enable a flock of 300,000 European starlings to evade predators at break-neck speeds. The elaborate network of a million component parts that make a feather an aerodynamic masterpiece. And much more.

In Flight the ingenuity of a bird's behavior and biology showcase unmistakable evidence for design, purpose, and plan. They are displays of genius best explained by intelligence and mind. - Publisher.
