Birds of Central Park
June 6, 2008
Central Park is an 843-acre oasis in the middle of Manhattan’s vast network of steel, concrete, and glass. It is also, according to the New York City Audubon Society, one of the top ten birding spots in America. More than 200 species pass through the park on their migratory routes each spring and fall, close to one third of the bird species found in the United States. For the past two and a half years Cal Vornberger has been in the park every day photographing these feathered park residents. The best of those images are now collected in this gorgeous volume.
Vornberger’s photos capture birds engaged in all types of activities: feeding, bathing, caring for their young, flying, singing. Among the more than 100 species featured are warblers, egrets, herons, kingfishers, a boreal owl, and hawks (including the famous Pale Male, whose eviction last December from its ritzy Fifth Avenue perch sparked nationwide news stories). Packaged inside the book is a removable foldout pocket guide. Vornberger’s spectacular photography, interspersed with his comments about birds, the park, and photography, will appeal to all bird-watchers, nature lovers, photography aficionados, and visitors to New York’s Central Park.
Customer Review: Fabulous Book
If you like birds, you’ll love the unbelievable photographs. If you like Central Park, you’ll enjoy the map on the front and back flats which help you identify where the pictures were taken. Glad I purchased this book.
Customer Review: More than just pretty pictures.
I’m not an ornithology buff, but I am a serious amateur photographer. I also happen to live in New York City and do a lot of shooting in Central Park.
I’ve seen Cal Vornberger a few times as he was going about his business and intensely bringing his huge 600mm lens to bear on some unsuspecting bird.
Until purchasing the book, my exposure (no pun intended) to Vornberger’s work was limited to a few looks at his website.
While there are some standard “bird on a stick” shots, they do not by any means make up the majority of the photos. Frankly, anyone with a long lens can take a picture of a perched bird.
What sets Vornberger apart is his knowledge of each species and having the patience to wait for his subjects to be doing something interesting. His shots of so many different species going about the business of feeding, nesting and simply interacting with each other are outstanding.
The printing is excellent and the essays by Vornberger and Marie Winn are informative and very well written. I spend a lot of time in Central Park shooting general nature subjects, but Vornberger’s maps led me to discover some areas of the park that I’d never before explored.
If you have any interest in birds, Central Park or photography, this is a must buy. Buy from here…
