Description

If you still think of sparrows as LBJs (little brown jobs); skulky little drab guys, hard to identify, and generally unexciting…prepare to have your world rocked! The two Eds will take you on a journey through the world of sparrows to reveal the subtle beauty of their plumage and their songs. Along the way, you may pick up some useful ID tips and learn about the unparalleled variety of sparrow song composition.

Ed Pandolfino’s convoluted journey toward ornithology has taken him from touring Europe in a rock band, to getting a Ph.D.in Biochemistry, to becoming obsessed with all things bird. He has coauthored two bird books, published dozens of research papers, but loves nothing better than being alone at dawn recording bird song.
