| Gene Stratton-Porter is best known as Indiana’s most widely-read female author, but her impact on the birding world began in the 1870s and still continues to this day. We’ll explore her earliest interactions with birds, the influence she had on the birding community and popular culture of the day and how she is still making a lasting impact on birding and our environment. Rare books from her library will be on display including an AOU Checklist from 1910.
Dave W Fox is the Site Manager at the Gene Stratton-Porter State Historic Site in Rome City, and is the Natural History Section Manager for the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites. He has been a life-long birder and nature photographer and is currently a board member for the Indiana Audubon Society, Friend of Goose Pond and serves as the Bird Town Indiana Chairman. This program is free and open to the public. |
