As part of the publicity campaign for the Farrar, Straus and Giroux book, Central Park In the Dark, by Marie Winn, I had a photograph in The New York Times today in the second section of Friday’s Weekend Arts.  The story was by Anne Raver and was entitled, In Urban Wilderness, Tracking Hoots in the Night.  There was also a multimedia feature with a slide show and
audio, which include a few more of my photographs.

I’m a Director in the I.T. department of Macmillan that supports our publishers, including Farrar, Straus and Giroux. It has been great fun to experience the creative side of Macmillan, rather than just the technical
side these last few months supporting Marie’s book.

If you’re visiting my blog for the first time due to this article, welcome.  Over the last few years, I’ve learned that although we generally perceive nature to be rarer as we move from rural to suburban to urban environments, for the most part, it’s all still here in the city if you just look for it.  Our man made world, as hard as it might try is still a wild place, especially for birds.  This blog tries to document some of this diversity, specializing in urban raptors.

Marie’s book also got a wonderful review by Geoffrey Norman in the Wall Street Journal today.  The book is a fun, easy read and is available at a number of bookstores including:
Amazon
Barnes & Noble
Borders
or your local bookstore
