Speaker: Julie Zickefoose

Naturalist/artist/writer Julie Zickefoose thinks of herself as an unsung, minor, rather dirty superhero. Her superpower: saving small, economically worthless wildlife that would otherwise die. An orphaned jay named Jemima was one such foundling. Spending nearly a year healing, studying and raising the young blue jay for release into the wild opened the door to their world for Julie. More than a wildlife rehab story, it’s the story of life, love and dealing with great loss; of finding grace and redemption in bonding with a wild bird.

Biography:
Julie Zickefoose lives and works on an 80-acre wildlife sanctuary in Whipple, Ohio. Her illustrated work, The Bluebird Effect, was an Oprah’s Book Club pick in 2012.  Julie recently became Advising Editor to the updated Bird Watcher’s Digest Magazine. 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. (See Julie and Jemima below)
