Red-tails in Love: Pale Male's Story—A True Wildlife Drama in Central Park by Marie Winn

4.0

That was delightful! For someone whose not already into birding, there's every reason this book should be boring, but it's not. It's really engaging and wonderful. I have been watching Youtube videos of bird songs and want to get out to Central Park as soon as possible (maybe tomorrow, I'm about an hour away). I've got some very dingy little binoculars.
I thought it was going to be a novel, but it's more like a true story.
The idea of birding seems kind of boring...sitting and just...watching...birds, but the author points out that the people who do it are more in sync with the seasons and they see the little dramas and successes we often pass by without noticing. I think that could be really, really good for me. I get depressed sometimes.
