Where: This presentation will be held online via Zoom (see instructions below)

Join Julie Zickefoose, renowned wildlife rehabilitator, prolific artist and author, naturalist, and conservationist as she shares the true and heartwarming story of Jemima as told in her book: Saving Jemima: Life and Love with a Hard Luck Jay (Houghton Mifflin, 2019).

When Jemima, a young orphaned Blue Jay, was brought to Julie Zickefoose as a tailless, palm-sized bundle of fluff.

Starved and very sick, Jemima required constant care if she was to eventually be released. Once released, Jemima returned with a deadly disease and Julie then had to medicate a free-flying wild bird. Needless to say, Julie fell hard for this engaging, feisty, and funny Jay — a creative muse and source of strength through her own heartbreaking changes.
