THE LEGEND OF PALE MALE-- FANTASTIC FILM

Filmmaker Frederic Lilien and screenwriter Janet Hess have created a masterpiece documentary film. My niece, Jill, and I had the pleasure of attending the New York premiere of the pair's "The Legend of Pale Male." The screening, attended by over 300 nature enthusiasts, benefitted New York City Audubon.

This inspired film centers around the remarkably intertwined lives of a famous clan of Red-tailed Hawks and a large community of hawk-loving New Yorkers. The cinematography, editing, and writing are superb. Throughout the film tribute is paid to Charles-- for his role in mentoring Frederic through many years of filming and hawk stalking, and for his devotion to the hawks and hawk watchers.

There will be much more said about this lovely film in future posts.
