Birds of Central Park: A Guided Tour

While the park has been getting some deperately needed rain, , I've been spending most of the last three days learning the arcane mysteries of Powerpoint and getting a lot of slides together for a talk at the Natural History museum with Cal Vornberger. The details are below. Cal and I have divided up the Central Park bird species in a slightly unequal and yet perfectly logical way: He is covering 199 species while I am taking just one: the Red-tailed Hawk. Tomorrow or the next day at the latest I'll try to catch you up on my various Central Park projects involving robins, grackles, and moths.

Central Park is one of the top birding spots in America, with more than 200 species passing through the park on their migratory routes each fall and spring. This represents close to one-third of the bird species found in the United States. Photographer Cal Vornberger, author of Birds of Central Park, is joined by Marie Winn, former nature columnist for the Wall Street Journal and author of Red-tails in Love, to take you on this fascinating journey to learn what you might see in your own neighborhood.
