Enamored with the incredible variety of species that pass through his hometown of New York City, and with the other passionate birders he meets, he embarks on a year of reporting on the natural wonders hiding amidst the skyscrapers. He learns that millions of birds migrate through the city each year--more than four hundred different species have been found in New York, many more than in Yellowstone National Park. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through the four seasons, Goldberg takes readers to all five boroughs, through the city's most famous parks and landmarks. He pursues rare and common species alike, increasing his count and deepening his understanding of how and why birds make their home in this smoggy, noisy, concrete-coated environment. Along the way, he meets many delightful and idiosyncratic characters, both human and feathered. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Richly textured, informative, and uplifting, \u003ci\u003eBird City\u003c\/i\u003e will inspire fast-walking New Yorkers, the ever-growing birding community, and readers everywhere who think of \"nature\" as just a place to visit on Saturdays to slow down and look around them.
