...We travel to habitats all over North America and learn in just a few spellbinding minutes how much a rapidly evolving bird can teach us – from how the body works to how new species form...
Dr. John Fitzpatrick, Executive Director of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology
"The Junco Project does a superb job of converting a common and widespread backyard bird into a lively textbook about evolution, animal behavior, genetics, and even our own biological makeup. We travel to habitats all over North America and learn in just a few spellbinding minutes how much a rapidly evolving bird can teach us – from how the body works to how new species form. I’ve never seen a more exciting demonstration of the fact that absolutely nothing in nature is “ordinary.” Ellen Ketterson is a master scientist and educator, and it’s a thrill to see her life’s work, and that of her many colleagues, come together in such an engaging way for the global public."
The “Junco Project” is a celebration of the scientific process and the sense of wonder and discovery that is at the heart of all scientific endeavors... I've not seen a better science film.
Dr. Scott Lanyon, recent President, American Ornithologist's Union and Professor at U. of Minnesota
The “Junco Project” is a celebration of the scientific process and the sense of wonder and discovery that is at the heart of all scientific endeavors. It is also a celebration of the fact that we can learn valuable lessons from even the most familiar of birds. When a common backyard bird such as the Junco can teach us all these important lessons in behavior, ecology, evolution, and physiology, just imagine the lessons that remain to be learned from the millions of other species with which we share this planet. I’ve not seen a better science film.
