Acclaimed author Jonathan Franzen, an idiosyncratic trombone technician, a charming fashion-averse teenager, and a bird-tour leader who's recorded every sighting she's made since the 1940s are among the film's cast of characters.

Movie Reviews

Newsday - 9/10 by Diane WertsBirders makes a wealth of species even more readily available, and close-up.
New York Post - 8/10 by Lou LumenickBeautifully photographed over the four seasons - including Christmas, for the park's century-old bird census - Birders: The Central Park Effect is full of grace notes.
Wall Street Journal - 8/10 by Nancy DeWolf SmithShould be a delight for everyone. Bird watchers will find affirmation and even explanation for their avocation. People who can't tell a towhee from a titmouse will still wonder at the beauty of it all.
Variety - 6/10 by Ronnie ScheibDirector Kimball's sharply focused, serenely ravishing nature photography provides reason enough to go armchair birding.
User Review - 10/10 by Iris LI'm a birder. It's about birding. 'Nuff said.
User Review - 10/10 by Heidi EReally well produced - featuring birders and birds - fun for everyone.
User Review - 8/10 by Bonnie EAn engrossing tour of this little-known subculture and unlikely habitat in the center of densely populated Manhattan.
User Review - 8/10 by Raja HWonderful look at the migratory birds--and humans--of New York's Central Park.
User Review - 8/10 by TR JThis is a thoughtful, loving and modest documentary focusing on birders in Central Park, enthusiasts who try to express their devotion to the activity. There's no pretense or attempt at contrived drama. Instead, the film simply follows and interviews various birders who frequent Central Park, a surprisingly lively oasis for various species of birds in the middle of Manhattan. The film's approach becomes a bit dry and repetitive at times, but the local birders help keep our interest. I wish the filmmakers had included more about the nature of bird behavior, and the ending is more a fade-out than a moving conclusion. There are two excellent bonus features on the DVD of the film--a writer featured in the film as a bird enthusiast talks in an eloquent way about his attachment to nature, and an authority from Cornell's Ornithology Lab gives excellent insights into birds and their current fragile state on our planet. Portions of those features would have strengthened the film itself, and especially more emphasis on the declining populations of birds passing through the park.
