I saw it a few years ago, and thought it was brilliant. The skill and dedication it took to get the beautiful footage they did is amazing. I think the lack of dialogue is one of the films best attributes, especially when contrasted with the crappy "characterisation" forced onto the subjects in March of The Penguins.

The biggest problem here is that they staged quite a bit of the scenes (like the ducks that were stuck in oil). It's a beautiful film to be sure, but as a documentary it was a bit lacking. A similar film that I also got more out of was Baraka (same people who did Koyanisqatsi I think). Not just about birds, but all life.
