DVD Reviews of Nature - Pale Male

DVD Review: Fantastic documentary!
Summary: 5 Stars

This film has it all -- pathos, love, conflict, loss, and survival -- and all the magnificence of the natural world -- filmed to advantage against the dramatic backdrop of Manhattan. I was a tad apprehensive that this would be another plodding and overly-didactic nature documentary, but the story unfolds with drama, subtlety, and wit. We follow not only the truly remarkable hawk, Pale Male, and his mates and offspring, but also their human admirers, and we grow to love them. In this day and age, it is so refreshing to see the rare feel-good story in which nature thrives and humans do the right thing.

DVD Review: what a great story!
Summary: 5 Stars

I have watched it with my 70 year old parents and with kids. It's a lovely story for all ages!

DVD Review: Pale Male
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD is absolutely astounding.As a birder myself just the idea of a Red Tail taking up residence on 5th Ave. is great. He has had more than one mate. His first,First Love was rehabilitated at The Raptor Trust in New Jersey and released from there. His second mate was also a Raptor Trust rehabilitated hawk. My daughter worked at The Raptor Trust for 10 years. We are all very happy with the success of Pale Male's nesting. He is a magnificent bird.

Description of Nature - Pale Male

Of the millions of newcomers who flock to New York City, the astounding arrival in 1991 of a red-tailed hawk made history. No other red-tailed hawk had ever attempted to make Manhattan his territory. Affectionately dubbed Pale Male, he made an exclusive Fifth Avenue apartment building his home. Pale Male became an instant celebrity who made New Yorkers' hearts and imaginations soar. The destruction of his nest in December, 2004, became front page news. See Pale Male's remarkable story in this award-winning presentation of the Emmy-honored PBS series, NATURE narrated by Oscar-winner Joanne Woodward. Join the close-knit community of bird-watchers who faithfully gather daily to follow the progress of this exquisite, powerful bird of prey, as he hunts Central Park's wild creatures, courts his mate on Woody Allen's balcony, builds a penthouse nest, fiercely protects his family from attacking crows, and encourages his baby chicks to fly. Pale Male and his family become a magnificent obsession for the captivated crowds below. To the regulars on the beach, it's better than Broadway. And so is this very special program that the Audubon Society has proclaimed "a classic."
