Return to the Sky: The Surprising Story of How One Woman and Seven Eaglets Helped Restore the Bald Eagle by Tina Morris is an inspiring memoir that chronicles a pivotal moment in American conservation history. In 1975, as a young ornithology student from Cornell, Morris was tasked with reintroducing Bald Eagles to New York State—a species nearly wiped out by DDT. With no prior experience and little guidance, she spent two years raising seven eaglets at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge, pioneering techniques that would later be adopted nationwide. Her story is a testament to resilience, innovation, and the power of one person to make a lasting environmental impact. Perfect for readers interested in wildlife conservation, women's history, and the triumph of determination over adversity.
