Roxie Collie Laybourne wasn’t allowed to go to aviation school because she was a woman. Instead, she became a pioneer in bird studies and invented forensic ornithology, which identifies dead birds through feather samples.
Laybourne started working at @smithsoniannmnh in the 1940s. Her work in the museum’s Feather Identification Lab remains in use to this day.
Data from the field has informed flight plans to avoid collisions with birds, as well as programs to scare away birds at airports.

[BIHAKUEN]UVシールド(UVShield)

shawneknoder My father first met Roxie when she came to Monte Vista Colorado in 1965 to "sex" Sandhill cranes in order to find out the sex of Canus, a Whooping Crane chicken who was rescued after an accident in Canada. Our families became life-long friends. I spent many weekends at her home in Virginia riding horses and helping dig out her basement. I have never met a more gracious, intelligent, energetic or determined woman. She was one in a billion.
