Author Tina Morris will discuss her book, Return to the Sky: The Surprising Story of How One Woman and Seven Eaglets Helped Restore the Bald Eaglehttps://catalog.darienlibrary.org/GroupedWork/7dee4787-2d9e-0dfa-a36b-3492aaccfd6d-eng/Home?searchId=10261004&recordIndex=1&page=1&searchSource=local&referred=resultIndex, on Thursday, November 6, at Darien Library. Here is the linkhttps://www.darienlibrary.org/event/author-event-tina-morris-return-sky-darien-land-trust-93304 to the event.  Darien Library is located at 1441 Post Road, Darien, CT. The event will take place in the Community Room.

This is a free lecture. In Return to the Sky, Tina Morris, one of the first women to engage in a raptor reintroduction program, shares her remarkable story that is as much about the human spirit as it is about birds of prey. In the spring of 1975, on the eve of the US Bicentennial, Tina was selected to reintroduce Bald Eagles into New York State in the hope that the species could eventually repopulate eastern North America. Tina was handed an assignment to rehabilitate a population that had been devastated by the effects of DDT. The challenges were prodigious-there was no model to emulate for a bird of the eagle's size, for one-but Tina soon found that her own path to self-discovery and confidence-building was deeply connected with the survival of the species she was chosen to protect.
