“Epic Journeys”

A documentary by Shawn Carey and Jim Grady

Each year millions of shorebirds make an amazing round-trip journey between the Northern and Southern hemisphere.  Migration Productions’ newest video, “Epic Journeys”, looks at three shorebird species – red knot, piping plover and semipalmated sandpiper – and the challenges these species face during each of their monumental annual treks.
Their film asks burning questions: What is being done to help protect these shorebirds and their habitat?  How can the public help with their conservation?  And where can one go to best see each of these species en-route to their destinations?
Interviews and footage were shot on Plymouth Beach and South Beach in Massachusetts, the Bay of Fundy in Canada, and Cape May, New Jersey.

Shawn Carey (Migration Productions) produces bird/wildlife related Multi-media Presentations, videos and photo workshops that have been presented at many natural history events all over the United States.  Shawn moved from his home in Erie, Pennsylvania in October 1986 to Cambridge Massachusetts and started watching birds in 1988. Already with an interest in photography and now birds, Shawn began to combine the two in 1991. By 1994 he and good friend Jim Grady started Migration Productions as a way to present their multi-image slide presentations to a live audience. Migration Productions has been presenting programs to natural history and birding organizations and camera clubs since 1994. (Mass Audubon, Manomet, Eastern Mass Hawk Watch, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary and many local bird and camera clubs). Migration Productions offers the finest quality bird/wildlife programs with stunning photographs, video, sound tracks, and interviews with many people involved with bird watching and natural history topics. Shawn’s photos have been published in the Boston Globe, New York Times, Mass Audubon Sanctuary magazine, Science magazine, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary magazine and many others over the last 15+ years. In 1997 he started teaching bird photography workshops (Fundamentals of Bird Photography) for the Massachusetts Audubon Society. For additional information www.migrationproductions.com.
