February 2026 General Meeting: Feather Trails: A Journey of Discovery Among Endangered Birds with Sophie A. H. Osborn
Join us on Thursday, February 12, 2026 for our General Meeting. Tonight’s program will be Feather Trails: A journey of discovery among endangered birds, with Sophie A. H. Osborn, an award-winning environmental writer and wildlife biologist whose work has included the study and conservation of more than a dozen bird species in the Americas.
Sophie will discuss how birds are visible, vocal sentinels that alert us to environmental harms through their declining numbers or their failure to thrive. In her new book Feather Trails—A Journey of Discovery Among Endangered Birds, she shares her personal experiences reintroducing endangered Peregrine Falcons, Hawaiian Crows, and California Condors to the wild. While immersing readers in the triumphs and tribulations of being a wildlife biologist, Sophie explores the threats that imperiled these birds, and reveals that what harmed them threatens us, too. She will discuss what led to the endangerment of these three captivating species, recount the efforts of biologists to recover their populations, and read a few excerpts from her book that describe what it was like to work with these magnificent birds.
This will be both a live in-person meeting and streamed on Zoom. Click here for the on-line Zoom link.
Please remember to give yourself extra time to arrive as the road construction might still have the entrance to the parking lot from Camp Bowie Blvd. closed. Montgomery Street is also under construction. Since I drive from downtown Ft Worth, I take West 7th Street to get to Clifton Street and the parking lot.
