Amazing what happens in this haven amidst so much steel and concrete and noise. It's a great documentary for anyone who is even mildy a "birder",and it makes the case for yet another reason to visit New York City. I especially enjoyed the candid responses to "why birds?" as well as the admission that "yes, we DO look like morons, but so what?" :mrgreen: Try to get your hands on this one.

Yup, that would be me. Birding is one of the very few things that can get me out of bed when I really don't have to. :lol:
