He also looked at bird banding and surveys on the Alameda song sparrow to see if it could sho w if the restoration was working well. Bradley received his bachelor's degr ee in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Colorado and worked for different government agencies and companies before going to San José State University for his master's degree.
