Paul Giamatti to Narrate Original DUCKumentary on PBS Nature, 11/14

PBS Nature will air an Original DUCKumentary narrated by actor Paul Giamatti on November 14, 2012.

They belong to a cast of characters more than 120 species strong, and they make their entrance decked out in feathers shimmering with a rainbow of iridescence. Their colorfully descriptive names are stage-ready - Buffleheads, Canvasbacks, Redheads, Pintails, Goldeneyes and Ruddies. They all play their parts, but the star of this show is the spectacular Wood Duck, whose dramatic and brightly-colored good looks would be the envy of any matinee idol. Sit back and enjoy the ride as Mr. and Mrs. Wood Duck meet, mate, and raise a family of the some of the cutest and most courageous little ducklings you're ever likely to see. Watching these tiny balls of fluff jump from their nest 70 feet up in the hollow of an oak tree is only the first in a long list of surprises just waiting to amaze you - about ducks.

Take to the skies and dive into the water with a wondrous variety of ducks as Nature reveals all the personality and charm of these complex characters in An Original DUCKumentary, premiering Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 8 p.m. (ET) on PBS (check local listings). Emmy Award-winning actor Paul Giamatti narrates.
