- Woodpecker Checker: An up-close look at the world of woodpeckers from their home building techniques, habitat and diet to identifying various species and feeding them.
- Owls: With the help of biologist Dr. Gordon Court and a captive Barred Owl named Hootie, we find that wise but secretive owls, Snowies, Great Greys, Boreal and Great Horned Owls are everywhere.
- Bats: Millions of Mexican Free-Tail Bats congregate under bridges, around buildings and in the caves of Texas. John Acorn and David Stuart visit a sink hole cave and watch as bats swirl out every night to feed on insects. Then we learn about bat, bird and dinosaur wings and meet Vlad the fruit bat.
