There's a hawk in the city!
New York City is known for its sky-scrapers, subways, and hustle and
bustle -- not for its wildlife. So everyone is surprised when a
red-tailed hawk is spotted flying over Fifth Avenue, and even more
surprised when he decides to settle down on the ledge of one of the Big
Apple's swankiest apartment buildings.
The hawk soon draws many admirers. They name him Pale Male and watch as
he builds his nest, finds a mate, and teaches his little hawk babies to
fly.
Based on the true story of Pale Male, City Hawk brings New York City's
favorite hawk to life in a story of family, perseverance, and big-city
living.
