SERIES ANNOUNCER: You're watching 'Inside the Big Bend'. NARRATOR JIM HINES: It's amazing just how many different birds think Big Bend National Park is a great place to be. In the middle of their long, long migrations each year, between summers up north and winters down south, nearly 190 species of birds land here, each spring and fall, to rest up, to hydrate, and to feed. From chilly places way up north, about 100 species of birds fly south to here in the fall, to take advantage of the Big Bend's mild winters. From the steamy tropics way down south, another 116 species of birds fly north to here in the spring, to nest, and to raise their families. Additionally, there are some 56 species of birds that apparently think the Big Bend is such a great place, they live here all year round. Video (U.S. National Park Service)
