@ Hear from author Tina Morris about her book, Return to the Sky. THURSDAY, MARCH 19 Return to the Sky: The Reintroduction of the Bald Eagle 7:00–8:30 PM Tina Morris, Author of Return to the Sky In 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.
