"Birders: The Central Park Effect"

"Birders: The Central Park Effect" follows a diverse group of birders through the seasons as they passionately pursue their hobby in New York City's Central Park. Cornell Lab of Ornithology director Dr. John Fitzpatrick is among the experts interviewed about the so-called Central Park effect--the funneling of millons of birds into the park during migration. The film also highlights the profound impact birds can have on people. The documentary is produced and directed by Jeffrey Kimball and is airing on HBO this coming Monday, July 16, at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time. We got a chance to preview the film recently.
