Description

Pigeons, starlings, and house sparrows are the most abundant and easily observed birds in urban settings. They can be entertaining to watch and to listen to. Give them a chance, and you might even appreciate their beauty. Nature writer Billy Brown discusses their history, their place in the urban food web, and why he recommends that beginning birders start with the most disrespected birds in the Philly region. About Our PresenterBernard S. Brown ("Billy") is a nature writer for Grid magazine, author of Exploring Philly Nature: A Guide for All Four Seasons, co-host of the Urban Wildlife Podcast, and cofounder of the local nature hub PhillyNature.org. He is a herper who has, against all plans and intentions, picked up birding as well.
