History
In 1972 Des and Jen Bartlett made this film. They were awarded an Emmy for their efforts. They had followed the 2,500 mile migration of 300,000 geese from Canada's Hudson Bay to the Mississippi Delta. They had adopted fourteen of them and the parental bond enabled them to film them as they jointly migrated. The geese were flying and the Bartletts were inside a station wagon filming them as they travelled together. The eventual remarkable footage was screened with a music track by Glen Campbell singing Fly High and Free.[3]
The Bartletts were jointly awarded the Royal Geographical Society's Cherry Kearton Medal and Award in 1974.[4]
