An Uplifting Adventure Through New York’s Urban Wilderness
For readers of What an Owl Knows and The World Without Us, Bird City is an infectiously engaging journey through New York’s five boroughs—revealing a surprising and vibrant natural world hidden within the concrete jungle.
Ryan Goldberg first discovered birding by accident, but like so many new birders, one glimpse of his “spark bird” changed everything. Captivated by the sheer variety of species passing through his hometown, he sets out to explore the rhythms of migration and everyday avian life woven throughout the city’s parks, shorelines, and unexpected wild pockets.
Over the course of a year, Goldberg travels through all five boroughs—from iconic landmarks to lesser-known green spaces—tracking both rare and familiar birds. Along the way, he discovers that New York hosts more than four hundred species annually, far more than Yellowstone itself. His adventures introduce readers to the passionate, quirky community of local birders and the extraordinary birds who share space among skyscrapers, subways, and city streets.
Rich with insight, humor, and a deep appreciation for the natural world, Bird City invites readers to slow down, look up, and rediscover the wild life thriving all around us. Whether you’re a fast-walking New Yorker, a dedicated birder, or simply someone who loves stories that connect people and place, this book offers a refreshing new way to see America’s busiest city. 278 pages, hardcover book.
