About the Author: Leslie Day is a New York City naturalist and the author of Field Guide to the Natural World of New York City and Field Guide to the Street Trees of New York City, also published by Johns Hopkins.
Once you enter the world of the city\'s birds, life in the great metropolis will never look the same.
The hundreds of stunning photographs by Beth Bergman and gorgeous illustrations by Trudy Smoke will help you identify the ninety avian species commonly seen in New York.
Her book will quickly teach you what each species looks like, where they build their nests, what they eat, the sounds of their songs, what time of year they appear in the city, the shapes and colors of their eggs, and where in the five boroughs you can find them--which is often in the Neighborhood you call home.
There is no better way to identify and learn about New York\'s Birds than with this comprehensive Field Guide from New York City naturalist Leslie Day.
The Big Apple\'s miles of coastline, magnificent parks, and millions of trees attract dozens of migrating species every year and are also home year-round to scores of resident birds.
America\'s largest metropolis teems with birdlife in part because it sits within the great Atlantic flyway where migratory Birds travel seasonally between north and south.
You might spot hawks and falcons nesting on skyscrapers or robins belting out songs from trees along the street.
