 Wanted More Hawk & Less Birder Content March 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
For me the book was so-so. There seemed to me to be more energy spent on which birders were standing where, when, and saying which anthromopomorphic statements than there was content on the subject of the book, hawks in/near Central Park. The story of the hawks was intriquing but I didn't feel like I really got a cohesive story about them, it was frequently interupted by the other concerns of the book (Hawkwatchers, Earlybirds, 'Moth'ers, Duckers, Butterflyers, Dragon/Damselflyers...)
 Fun read! March 10, 2008
I bought this book for my husband, then I read it in one day while stuck at the airport. It was a compelling read, good story and interesting information. We live in New York and go to Central Park often, so this made it even more interesting... I am keeping my eyes open for what birds are in the parks near my house. A well written book, I would recommend it.
book review January 16, 2008

Although the book is written in a kind of factual style (e.g. On this day we saw this and this happened. A week later this happened...), I have enjoyed reading it. If you are an animal lover,especially of the bird kind, it is a heartwarming story of a real hawk trying to live and make it in Central Park. That is amazing in itself.
Some people may get a little bogged down in the recounting of the daily activities of the bird watchers who meet in the park. But if you love birds, it is worth it to wade through that. I would buy the book again.

I live in Portland Oregon, and have large populations of birds in my back yard, so this was a fun read. Perhaps i will visit NYC someday, and i will bring my glasses! What a nice book!
Birding in central Park January 6, 2007

Although the star of this book is Pale Male, there are also wonderful stories of encounters with other birds. Marie Winn is a good writer and this is a very entertaining book for anyone interested in Pale Male or birding in Central Park.
