Sophie Osborn never expected to spend her life saving birds. With degrees in French literature and international relations, she seemed destined for diplomacy — not a tent in grizzly country, hand-raising peregrine falcons on the edge of extinction.
In this powerful and moving conversation with Scott Harris, Sophie shares her extraordinary path from the University of Pennsylvania to the wilds of Wyoming, Kenya, Hawaii, and the Grand Canyon — all chronicled in her acclaimed book Feather Trails: A Journey of Discovery Among Endangered Birds.
🦅 In this episode:
🌍 How peregrine falcons came back from the brink after DDT
🐦 The heartbreak and hope of working with Hawaiian crows and California condors
📚 Why individuality — not just populations — matters in conservation
💫 What it means to fall in love with the wild and dedicate your life to its defense
✍️ Behind the scenes of her next book, Wild Work: Adventures of Women Field Biologists
From condors and crows to childhood spark birds, Sophie’s story is one of resilience — a testament to how much one person’s wonder and persistence can change the world for the wild things that still remain.
