Fly Away Home (1996) starring Jeff Daniels and Anna Paquin, was based on episodes in the life of Bill Lishman, an inventor and microlight flier, from Canada. In 1993, after studying the migration patterns of geese, he successfully led a Canada Geese flock on their winter migration from Ontario to N. Virginia in the USA. The whole flock of geese that took part in the migration, returned the next year without any help.
