Scott Edwards remembers the first bird species he ever identified: “Northern Flicker, what we used to call the Yellow-shafted Flicker—a kind of woodpecker,” says Edwards, now the Agassiz Professor of Organismal and Evolutionary Biology. He was about 12 years old at the time, and a neighbor in the Bronx had invited him to go bird watching. With binoculars and a field guide in hand, they identified a few local species, starting with the Northern Flicker, with its spotted breast and red chevrons. He was hooked.
