By luck and circumstance\, she was selected to reintroduce the species into New York state – in the hope that eagles could repopulate eastern North America. Young\, female\, with no experience\, she faced the challenges of saving this iconic bird while striving for acceptance in the unfamiliar male-dominated world of raptor biology. Playing mother to seven eagles forced her to transcend the isolation and tedium of field research to rescue an endangered species while in turn rescuing herself. Her remarkable story is as much about the human spirit as it is about birds of prey. \nWHEN: Sunday\, June 28\, 2026\nTIME: 4 p.m.\nPLACE: In person at the Museum and virtual via zoom\nReception and book signing to follow. \nJoin Zoom WebinarTina Morris completed her graduate work in ornithology and wildlife biology at Cornell in 1978\, writing her thesis on the adaptations of hacking techniques to reintroduce bald eagles. Following her studies at Cornell\, she worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Nature Conservancy for several years\, focusing on endangered species and critical habitat conservation\, before embarking on a 23-year career teaching English and biology. Since her retirement in 2020\, she has devoted her time to her own writing\, especially creative non-fiction with a science or nature focus. Thirty years ago\, with four children in tow\, Tina and her husband bought a farm in northern Massachusetts\, which they manage as a wildlife sanctuary\, promoting biodiversity and habitat protection for species in decline. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Eagle in flight USFWS natdiglib16081\n \n \n\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iPad\, or Android:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86040872787 \nPhone one-tap:\n+16699009128\,\,86040872787# US (San Jose)\n+16694449171\,\,86040872787# US \nJoin via audio:\n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 646 931 3860 US\nWebinar ID: 860 4087 2787\nInternational numbers available: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kClM0NPw3 URL:https://fergusonmuseum.org/event/return-to-the-sky-the-reintroduction-of-the-bald-eagle/ CATEGORIES:Illustrated Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fergusonmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Tina_Morris_wEagle004.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
