More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
"Club George" is a witty tale about one man's adventures with George, a particularly charismatic Red-winged Blackbird. Wryly humorous and brimming with affection for birds in general and George in particular, this book combines solid natural science with stylish prose and endearing photographs. The cast of characters includes creatures of all kinds, both human and not, and supporting roles are played by Pale Male and Lola, the famous Red-tailed Hawks whose nest was un-ceremoniously removed last year from their fancy Fifth Avenue building to a worldwide furore of protest. Both useful and entertaining, "Club George" covers everything from how to buy binoculars to fascinating trivia about New York's most famous park. This amusing gem will be welcomed by book-buying birdwatchers, Central Park enthusiasts, and armchair nature lovers everywhere.

Birder or not, this is a wonderful read
22 Dec 2006
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is one of the most enjoyable "birder" books I've read in years. The author writes with a delightful sense of humor; if you don't find yourself chuckling over something at least every couple of pages, better check your pulse! Even if you can barely tell the difference between a cardinal and a bluejay, you will enjoy this book; anyone with more than a casual interest in birds will absolutely love it.
