This documentary conceived and directed by Jeffrey Kimball, was a surprise as well as joy to watch on a recent freezing day in New York. Having seen, at different times, either single, or groups of people in Central Park, with their binoculars zoomed on the hidden life in the park, someone, like this observer, had no clue at the treasure of avian life within the confines of the green heart of Manhattan.
Mr. Kimball takes us on a wonderful excursion to witness the varieties of birds that make the park their home in different seasons. We are treated to meet some of the avid followers who spend most of their time spotting these beautiful creatures in their habitat. We are even Introduced to Jonathan Franzen, the distinguished writer, who is an experienced bird watcher on his own right. Our heart went to Starr Saphir, who conducts tours, in spite of her illness. Ms Saphir's dedication speaks volumes about how to enjoy one's passion even when threatened with an uncertain future.
Excellent work by Mr. Kimball and highly recommended for all types of audiences who will, no doubt, be delighted by the birds and their true friends.
