Julie Zickefoose, Artist, Writer, and Naturalist
Lecture and Book Signing
How do baby songbirds develop so quickly, with some taking flight only eleven days after hatching? In 2002, Julie Zickefoose began to draw and paint wild nestlings day-by-day, bearing witness to their swift growth. Over the next thirteen years, she documented these developmental changes in seventeen bird species, from their hatching to their first attempts to fly. She will discuss the artistic process she used in producing 400 life studies that hop and flutter through the pages of her most recent publication, Baby Birds: An Artist Looks into the Nest.
