Jane Aguilar Murphy is a native of Rockland County, New York. Her life-long love of photography was inspired by her father who enjoyed taking family photos and was member of a local camera club. Her journey officially began when she was given her first camera by her Aunt Marie at the age of ten. She began photographing raptors after seeing the PBS special Pale Male by Frederic Lilien. When she heard of a bald eagle's nest in West Nyack, Rockland County, she dedicated the next eight months to taking thousands of photos of a family of bald eagles raising their new baby, which Jane named Skye. This book tells the story of Skye and features some of the amazing photos Jane was able to capture. 

Gather at 7:00 PM at the Congers Lake Memorial Park Community Center for refreshments and conversation with fellow birders and nature enthusiasts. Program starts at 7:30 PM.
