Including the latest information on the seasonal status and distribution of more than 400 species, with 39 maps  and over 50 of my photographs, this full-color guide features information essential to planning a birding visit. It will become the go-to book for both the region’s longtime birders and those exploring the area for the first time.

And yes, it has detailed info on where to find birds in top hotspot, Central Park!
