Title: Fifth Avenue wildlife
Review: In my childhood the wildlife of Central Park was simply squirrels and pigeons. Today it includes an astonishing array of creatures, most famously the family of hawks nesting on Fifth Avenue and 74th Street. It has been fascinating to watch them hunt and raise their young. Although I've been aware of them for some years now, I learned so very much more about them from this book. It's a dramatic story of the endurance and adaptability of life under extremely difficult circumstances. It's also a fascinating story of a group of dedicated people who care so much for the birds of the park. And, for someone who virtually grew up in Central Park, it came as a revelation of an inner life unsuspected till recently. The weekend after I finished this book I located places in the Rambles that I never knew existed (the Azalea pond) and was rewarded with my first ever glimpse of a woodpecker hard at work! This book might just turn me into a bird watcher!
