Early life

Edmondson was born in Columbus, Ohio, to African American parents who relocated from the South during the Great Migration. He first got interested in birding as a high school senior when a teacher took him and other students on a birding trip, unusual for urban youth of color.[5]

Career

In addition to his books, Edmondson's photographs are widely published in bird encyclopedias and natural history field guides worldwide, including dozens of images in Bird: The Definitive Visual Guide, by Audubon (DK Publishing.)
