This state of oneness between man and animals is nothing short of awe-inspiring. I watch with amazement, admiration and wonder. Beautiful, just beautiful. Thanks for sharing this gem of a documentary.

One of the best documentaries I've ever watched. I love nature and just wish I could travel and watch how our world interacts and so many of us are oblivious to the fantastic things that are happening all over Mother Earth. Amazing!

[@alanwerner8563]

I Certainly agree with you. This gave me so much hope that maybe some things aren’t as completely screwed up as we sometimes think. Particularly nice to note that this is happening in China and Central Ancient China at that. So even in ultra-modern China where many Bad Things appear to be happening there are things like this carrying on just like maybe 1200 years ago.

Cormorants are fascinating. One time I rescued an oil-covered Brandt's Cormorant on the Oregon coast, taking it wrapped in paper towels, placed under the car heater, to an Oregon bird rehab center. I was shocked at the protective clothing worn by the rescue workers, including elbow length thick gloves and they were shocked I hadn't been severely injured by my oily friend! They assured me he should recover okay after a wash in Dawn detergent, as he wasn't terribly debilitated!
