Ernie Jardine
Biography: Ernie Jardine lives in Pickering Ontario. His interest in the birds began as a youngster in the 1950’s, scouring his Toronto neighbourhood for birds, along with like-minded friends. Bird sticker books, and bird books from the local library also figured prominently. From that youthful curiosity, his present preoccupation with birds and birding has evolved, passing through many and varied stages. Included among them: traveller, photographer, teacher, author, and more recently avid nature recordist. Over the years, bird song has become a special interest. This interest led to the publication, in 1996, of a book on the subject, “Bird Song: Identification Made Easy”. After 30 years as an educator, teaching is a part of his make-up, and in a continuing effort to help those trying to learn bird song, he has now produced this second book on the subject. Meanwhile he continues his passion, following, photographing and recording the birds.
