Though at first glance the book appears to be just another "schmaltzy" story written by a non-birder, it is, in actuality, a really good read about the birds and birders of Central Park, N.Y. during the past few years when a pair of Red-tails made their home on a high-rise ledge overlooking the park. Talk about an unaware public!
