Winter''s The Librarian of Basra fluid, accessible narrative
relays the true tale of two Red-tailed hawks that took up residence
at the top of a Manhattan apartment building. Excited bird-watchers
observe from the street as Pale Male and his mate, Lola, diligently
build their nest behind spikes designed to keep pigeons away. Pale
Male brings mother-to-be Lola mice and birds to eat, and the
residents of the Fifth Avenue apartment below are hardly happy when
the scraps land on their balcony.
