LAST CHANCE AUDUBON OCTOBER 2025 PROGRAM

---

Join us for this month’s program featuring award-winning writer and wildlife biologist Sophie A. H. Osborn as she shares powerful personal stories from the front lines of conservation. She will discuss what led to the endangerment of three captivating species—the Peregrine Falcon, Hawaiian Crow, and California Condor—and recount the heroic efforts to bring them back from the brink.

Drawing from her acclaimed book “Feather Trails: A Journey of Discovery Among Endangered Birds,” Sophie will immerse us in the triumphs and tribulations of a wildlife biologist, revealing that the threats which imperiled these birds threaten us, too. She will read excerpts that vividly describe what it is like to work closely with these magnificent birds, offering a rare glimpse into their world and the dedicated work to save them.

Sophie’s deep experience includes serving as field manager for the California Condor Recovery Program. Her first book, “Condors in Canyon Country,” won the 2007 National Outdoor Book Award, and “Feather Trails” was recently chosen as the American Birding Association’s favorite bird book of 2024. Sophie has written articles for “BirdWatching,””Wyoming Wildlife,” and “Sojourns” magazines.
