CFO Speaker Series - Feather Trails with Sophie A.H. Osborn (Thurs., Feb 26)

[BCO gal]

CFO's Dead of Winter Knowledge Quest continues with award-winning environmental writer and wildlife biologist Sophie A.H. Osborn.

Birds are visible, vocal sentinels that alert us to environmental harms through their declining numbers or their failure to thrive. In her book Feather Trails—A Journey of Discovery Among Endangered Birds, Sophie Osborn shares her personal experiences reintroducing endangered Peregrine Falcons, Hawaiian Crows, and California Condors to the wild. While immersing readers in the triumphs and tribulations of being a wildlife biologist, Sophie explores the threats that imperiled these birds, and reveals that what harmed them threatens us, too. She will discuss what led to the endangerment of these three captivating species, recount the efforts of biologists to recover their populations, and read a few excerpts from her book that describe what it was like to work with these magnificent birds.

This Zoom presentation takes place Thursday, February 26th from 7:00 to 8:00 pm. For more information and to register visit: https://cobirds.org/events/speaker-series-sophie-osborn/
