Wildlife cinematographer Neil Rettig embarks on the most challenging assignment of his career: to find and film the rarest eagle on the planet. Philippine Eagles are critically endangered. It's difficult to determine population size, but most estimates suggest there are 200-800 birds left in the wild. Habitat loss and human persecution rank as the top threats to their survival. Bird of Prey introduces us to the vanishing world of the Great Philippine Eagle and the courageous men and women working to save it.
