- **Event Name**: Julie Zickefoose: Books, Birds, and Following Passion’s Path
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Apr, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 11 Apr, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Julie Zickefoose offers a close look at the making of a natural history writer and illustrator. Her talk follows the threads of inspiration, from formative books and influential artists in Julie’s early years to the creation of her own books. Zickefoose tracks in intimate detail the exceptionally close interactions she has with birds under her study and care. These experiences have given her deep insight into the way birds think and see the world. “There’s no better way to come to know a bird than to be its mama. Then, to let it go and watch it learn to navigate its world and become what it was meant to be—this is how I come to understand birds: from their beginnings on outward.”

Illustrated with the author’s own photographs, drawings and paintings, this lecture brings viewers into Julie’s world, and that of the birds she has come to know. A brood of Carolina wrens: ferociously intelligent, surprisingly affectionate, inventive and comical, consumed Julie’s summer in 2023. You’ll leave with a far greater appreciation of these small brown birds, and all birds, who have been Julie’s best instructors in the ways of the wild.

Books are available for purchase and signing at the time of the program.

Julie Zickefoose lives and works quietly on an 80-acre wildlife sanctuary in the back country of Whipple, Ohio. She is a prolific writer and painter who was an All Things Considered commentator for five years. Her illustrated work, "The Bluebird Effect," was an Oprah's Book Club pick in 2012.  After 37 years of contributing art and writing to Bird Watcher's Digest, Julie recently became Advising Editor to the new and improved BWD Magazine. Her heavily illustrated books include "Natural Gardening for Birds," "Letters from Eden," "The Bluebird Effect," and "Baby Birds: An Artist Looks into the Nest." Her newest book is "Saving Jemima: Life and Love with a Hard-Luck Jay," the intimate story of how an orphaned bird can save a soul.
