There are so many mistakes that it almost becomes a game to discover how many flubs appear. It prompted me to compose a poem. I ran out of energy long before I ran out of errors. You won't understand the following unless you look at the Sony site, which is: http://www.sonyclassics.com/wingedmigration/home.html
Once on the site, tap "Migration Patterns" to see what Scott and I are talking about.

Although the movie might be good
the promo done by Sony
prepares a lot of food for thought,
but much of it........Baloney !

The picture of the "ibis"
the authors should regret.
In thumbing through the field guides, it
would make a great Egret.

The underwing will give a clue
if this ID you're pondering.
With so much black on leading edge......can
this albatross be Wandering??

In naming swans they miss again
and commit another blooper.
In pictures and migration routes
this "trumpet" is a Whooper.

I was glad to see the Arctic gull....and
about its flight to learn.
In such a long migration
you dare not miss a TERN.

Sorry !
