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, Tina was selected to reintroduce Bald Eagles into New York State in the hope that the species could eventually repopulate eastern North America. The challenges were prodigious―there was no model to emulate for a bird of the eagle’s size, for one!
A local author, she has a graduate degree in ornithology from Cornell University and taught English and biology for 25 years. She is now writing about environmental issues, particularly those that affect wildlife conservation including "Return to the Sky".
