Product Description
The birdwatchers of Central Park were buzzing?a young red-tailed hawk had been spotted, would he stay? The bird they dubbed Pale Male not only stayed, he became one of New York City?s most famous residents. Pale Male and his mate built their nest near the top of one of Fifth Avenue?s swankiest apartment buildings. Nine years and 23 chicks later, Pale Male?s fame had grown so large that a CBS newsman named him Father of the Year! But Pale Male was less beloved by the residents of the building, and in 2004 the owners suddenly removed the nest?setting off an international outcry on behalf of the birds.

Pale Male: Citizen Hawk of New York City October 24, 2008

Pale Male Citizen Hawk of New York is a factual story that seems like a fairy tale. Children can learn about life in the city and how a hawk chose to live and survive in a chaotic city with a nearby park with areas that make it hard to believe that it is in New York. A lovely book about a beautiful creature and his family.

This is an amazing book, beautifully written and illustrated, and appealing to readers of all ages. This spring my elementary school ordered several copies for a bird/nature study. After multiple readings, the children were inspired to research and create their own nature books; their efforts were astounding and are a testimony to the book's beauty and appeal.

Janet Schulman's PALE MALE: CITIZEN HAWK OF NEW YORK CITY tells of a rare red-tailed hawk's appearance in an oasis in the center of New York City. There he finds a mate and they build a nest atop one of Fifth Avenue's swankiest apartment buildings. Fine watercolors by Meilo So enhance this story of an urban legend in a picturebook requiring good reading skills but promising much.
