National Parks Exploration Series: The Everglades - A Subtropical Paradise [Blu-ray]

Disappointed
I was fairly disappointed with this disc. Having visited Everglades National Park many times, I feel that it failed to capture the real beauty of the park. The presentation also contained errors such as showing images of a Tri-colored Heron, when talking about the Great Blue Heron, images of a Snowy Egret when taking about the Great White Heron, and an image of a Red-bellied Woodpecker, when talking about the Downy Woodpecker. These types of errors occur throughout the disc. It seems like the narration was recorded without regard for the video. Video quality is also not the best. The image lacks dynamic range and saturation as does the audio.

Doesn't even rate any stars
Having lived and worked in the Everglades National Park, I was really looking forward to having this BluRay.
Well, it was worse than awful. Full of misinformation and really poorly done
The Everglades are a true jewel of nature, and were presented so poorly. Never when I worked there would
I have treated the visitors the way they were treated in this film, and we never, never would have found it
necessary to carry "learning or teaching aids.' The Glades all by themselves are splendid and didn't need
anything other than a good Ranger/Naturalist to explain them.

There are enough errors in this film about an area which I know so well that it makes me wonder what is in its
sister films about which I know nothing that is also incorrect.

Really a terrible disappointment.

It is a very well done video of the park. It is divided into three parts . Each section is chuck full of information. The scenery filmed was great a great piece of work. I lived Florida for 17 years. I have been there. It's a great buy!
