The entire series of 13 episodes has run on the PBS satellite station, and
is now cycling over again. It was fun to watch, especially at the
beginning.

Overall, I think a more accurate title would have been "An Introduction to
Birdwatching with ..." There is an abundance of footage on backyard
feeders, aimed at people who aren't already spend a small fortune on feeder
supplies. The short segments on birding hotspots were far too short for my
taste. The Identification portions of the shows also lacked depth.
It looks like they may to another set of 13 episodes; maybe the depth of
information will increase then.
So enjoy the show, there is some nice video footage, but I was disappointed.
