Owls Of Central Park

Charles Kennedy loved the natural world of Central Park with a singular passion and Owls of Central Park provides the evidence. When he died in 2004 he left behind this remarkable collection of unique photographs, rich essays, field notes, and masterful haiku poems. Owls of Central Park captures the nighttime adventures of Kennedy and his intrepid New York City friends as they explore the habits and intrigues of several owl species in Central Park. The reader will find plenty of hard owl science and history, e.g., visiting a clinic where an owl's cataracts are investigated or in a series of photos that refute the long-standing belief that owls eyes are fixed in their sockets. There is also plenty of high adventure, great photographs, and fine writing. If you are a fan of owls, or of New York City and Central Park, or if you simply love gorgeous nature photos and stories, this is a book you will love.
