72: Julie Zickefoose on Raising Blue Jays, Rehabbing Nestlings, and the Joy of Wild Things
Listen now
Description
Julie Zickefoose is one of those birding writers I’ve admired from afar for a long time. When I first got into birds during that miserable pandemic, her book, “Saving Jemima” was one of the first bird-related titles I picked up at our library. I was captivated. Who knew little birds could have such big personalities? Who knew how much creativity and courage it would take to rehab a single bird? You can check out Julie's books, illustrations, and more at her website, too. Or follow her on Instagram or Facebook. As a reminder, The Thing with Feathers podcast comes out bi-weekly on Mondays. If you love the show, I’d be honored if you’d share it with a friend and give it a review, too! Get full access to Keep Looking Up at courtneyellis.substack.com/subscribe
