A CONVERSATION WITH DR. GEORGE ARCHIBALD, THE FIRST INDIANAPOLIS PRIZE WINNER. Join the Indianapolis Zoo for a special live conversation with the very first Indianapolis Prize Winner Dr. George Archibald.  When ornithologist and co-founder of the International Crane Foundation Dr. George Archibald first met a female whooping crane named Tex, who had imprinted on humans, his goal was simple: form a bond strong enough that she would lay an egg. His unique approach, which included dancing alongside her, created a remarkable relationship, produced a successful chick, and helped make a future for the species a reality. His journey is found within “Saving Endangered Species,” a new book featuring chapters from each Indianapolis Prize Winner and the Jane Alexander Global Wildlife Ambassador Award recipients. Hosted by Indianapolis Zoo Board of Trustees member Christa Adkins, George will share his story during the virtual event and answer participants' questions.  Registration is required.

The Birdathon Silent Online Auction will begin at 8am on 9/11/24 and end at 8pm on 9/15/24. Please preview the event: HERE
