1 A Nest in the City
Many people call New York City
home. So does a famous bird. He’s
a red-tailed hawk called Pale Male.
Pale Male has a hooked beak and a
red tail. He got his name because
his chest is almost white.
Red-tailed hawks need to live
where they can hunt for food.
Place the book in front of the student. Read the title and introduction.
Introduction: Pale Male is a red-tailed hawk. He made a nest on the ledge of an apartment building in New York City, United States of America. Read to find out what happened.

2 At first, Pale Male chose to live in
Central Park. It is a big green park
right in the middle of New York City.
The hawk made a nest in a tree.
But some blue jays flew at him. They
would not leave him alone. So Pale
Male moved. He found a mate and
he made a nest on the ledge of a
fancy apartment building across from
the park. The ledge had sharp spikes
on it. The spikes held up the nest of
sticks.
Baby Birds
Before long, there were eggs in the
nest. Many bird watchers came with
binoculars to see the hawk family.

Within the Text
A hawk built a nest on a tall building in New York City. The spikes on the building held the nest up.
The hawk raised baby birds, and people liked to watch them. But some people didn’t like so many people watching the building, so the nest was taken down. That made many people angry. They protested and called city leaders to bring the nest back.
The spikes were put back up, and the hawk and his family came back.

About the Text
This book is non-fiction. It tells a true story about what happened to the hawks in New York City.
People in New York City liked looking at hawks and thought they should be able to live on the buildings. But the people who lived in the building did not like other people looking at the building with binoculars.

Note any additional understandings:
What is the genre of this book? How do you know?
Describe the disagreement in this book.
What does the writer do to keep you interested? What else? Show an example.
