Suzie Gilbert, author of Flyaway: How a Wild Bird Rehabber Sought Adventure and Found Her Wings, will speak to us about her experience as a wild bird rehabilitator in the Hudson Valley for nearly twenty years. Ten years ago she started rehabbing birds in her home, starting with injured and orphaned songbirds, and then including raptors, water birds and game birds. She will speak to us about bird's natural histories and facets of their personalities that she has observed, as well as highlight the dangers birds face and suggest ways we can help make their habitat safer.
