"Watching Sparrows" travels from desert canyons and coastal dunes to Alaskan mountainsides and Arctic tundra to hear the songs and explore the lives of 46 species of sparrows, towhees, juncos, and longspurs. Every scene features a spring-plumaged male exploding with song and a panoramic look at his dramatic habitat. Woven in are details of courtship, nesting, feeding and biological adaptation.
The Watching Sparrows DVD was filmmed over three breeding seasons - from South Florida to the Arctic Ocean. Click on any picture to play a preview movie. Read reviews below.
The "Watching Sparrows" DVD is awesome. It is just like watching sparrows in the field, only the views are better, the sound is cleaner, and there's someone helpfully explaining what you are watching."

"What an outstanding presentation! As someone with a long-standing interest in sparrows, I was blown away by the quality, accuracy, and beauty of your program. You two have an extraordinary talent for capturing the best of birds on stunning video and audio - many of these elusive sparrows have never been filmed even half as well before. I would recommend "Watching Sparrows" to anyone who wants to learn more about birds, anyone who wants to improve their birding skills, or anyone who simply enjoys wonderful footage of nature. Congratulations on a fantastic job!"

"Each species is lovingly shot in frame-filling close-up worthy of a National Geographic or BBC Documentary. I couldn't find one species that had footage that was anything less than excellent."

The DVD is not only useful, but is simply enjoyable to watch and listen to as it is so beautifully done. it will give you an entirely new view of those "little brown jobs" that all too many birders avoid yet others enjoy the challenge of identifying.

"Exquisite cinematography and sound reveal the beauty, variety, and uniqueness of a family often undeservedly lumped together as "little brown jobs." Tightly written life history sketches and gorgeously filmed habitats for each species elevate "Watching Sparrows" into the realm of great natural history film-making."
