Subject: Winged Migration full of errors?

I have the subtitled French DVD of Winged Migration. An error that I
noticed was the assertion that BALD EAGLES migrate the length of the US
West Coast to and from Alaska. At least I've always assumed we have
different populations.

Since I know next to nothing about European birds, I can't speak to the
truthfulness of most of the movie, but I was disturbed when I watched
part of the long version of the "Making of ..." segment (in French so
I could only watch), and saw that they raised chicks (geese and cranes,
maybe others, I haven't watched the whole thing) and imprinted them to
have their ultralites welcomed in the flocks at migration time.
