Grab your binoculars!

Long overdue, the first comprehensive, authoritative, witty, insidery, beautifully illustrated, must-have guide to birding in New York City is now in print.

Watch thousands of pure white snow geese suddenly take to the air and float like confetti before the NYC skyline, two miles distant across gleaming Jamaica Bay.

Stand on a platform 50 yards from a spectacular Atlantic Ocean beach and observe 5,000 hawks cruise by in an afternoon.

Search for intensely-colored warblers in Prospect Parks Vale of Kashmir, Central Parks Strawberry Fields, Forest Parks Watering Hole, or High Rock Parks Loosestrife Swamp.

Visit a reservoir where upwards of 30 eagles swoop in before dusk to roost in vast stands of white pine that border the water and cover the surrounding hills.

Check out the Wood Ducks on Van Cortlandt Park Lake, the Harlequin Ducks that winter at Point Lookout, the tens of thousands of broad-winged hawks that pass over the Audubon Center in Greenwich, the colony of monk parakeets that established itself at Green-Wood Cemetery, the yellow-throated and cerulean warblers that nest on Bulls Island.

Go birding in the Big Apple, with John Thaxton and Alan Messer as your guides to one of North Americas finest birding hotspots: New York City.

Review: petit livre broché format poche de 1998 présentant 50 sites intéressants d'un point de vue ornithologique à et autour de New York; 2 à 7 pages par site comprenant une description sommaire des lieux illustrée d'une gravure n&b d'oiseau mais sans carte; ce petit guide peut à la rigueur aider à préparer un voyage mais on cherchera des ouvrages plus modernes avec couleurs et cartographie
