Life on Wings

S1 E6: Stretching over four hundred square miles of Southern Sri Lanka, Yala National Park is an avian Eden. Some 215 bird species have made their homes here, including red-wattled lapwings, paradise flycatchers, and white-bellied sea eagles. They’re drawn to the area’s deep watering holes, lush forests, and fertile lagoons…but not all the winged creatures here are friendly. In fact, some of the deadliest predators here are birds themselves, and new feathered parents must defend their helpless young or lose them to these skilled hunters.
