SUMMARY:Return to the Sky: The Reintroduction of the Bald Eagle
DESCRIPTION:Hear from author Tina Morris about her book\, Return to the Sky.\n\n\nTHURSDAY\, MARCH 19 \nReturn to the Sky: The Reintroduction of the Bald Eagle \n7:00–8:30 PM \nTina Morris\, Author of Return to the Sky \nIn 1976\, as the bald eagle faced extinction in the continental U.S.\, Tina Morris began her graduate work at Cornell University. By chance\, she was chosen to reintroduce the species to New York State\, hoping to repopulate eastern North America. Young\, female\, and inexperienced\, she navigated the challenges of saving this iconic bird while gaining acceptance in the male-dominated world of raptor biology. Raising seven eagles helped her overcome the isolation of fieldwork\, rescuing an endangered species—and herself in the process. \nFree of charge | Virtual event (a Zoom link will be emailed to participants prior to lecture date) \nThis virtual lecture is a part of our Third Thursday Lecture series \n__________________ \nInterested in reading Return to the Sky? This book can be purchased at The Garden Shop at Jenkins (members receive a 10% discount) or online here.
