経歴と著者の歩み
Jennifer Ackerman is an American science and nature writer whose career has combined literary training, field reporting, and a long, attentive fascination with birds. Educated at Yale, where she graduated cum laude in 1980 with a B.A. in English, she traces her first serious interest in birds to childhood outings with her father around the Potomac and the C&O Canal, where she learned to identify species by sound as well as sight. Those early mornings, along with a family pet parakeet and later close observation of coastal birdlife, helped form the patient, behavior-centered way of seeing that would define her writing.
