Must-read Blog Post on Hawk Mountain’s Saviour
Dyana Z. Furmansky, who wrote the recent excellent biography of Rosalie Edge — the woman who saved Hawk Mountain's raptors from the gunners (amongst many other conservation achievements) — has a new post on Edge on the Audubon Magazine's blog, The Perch.
Dyana argues persuasively that Rosalie Edge has never gotten the credit that was due her.
You can read the post here — it includes a photo by Kevin Watson from the coffee-table book Kevin and I did on Hawk Mountain.
You can help Rosalie Edge get the recognition she deserves by placing a comment at the end of Dyana's post on Perch. The more support that's shown for this amazing woman, the better chance she has for the public acclaim that's long overdue.
