With the help of El Nino, a variety of rare birds are flying up into the U.S., giving the trio a chance to compete against each other. However, as the year progresses, they soon realize that there are more important things than winning the competition.

The movie follows the three bird-watchers as they travel across the country, from the Florida Everglades to the Pacific Northwest, in search of the rarest birds.
