Young and female in a male-dominated field, Tina was handed an assignment to rehabilitate a population that had been devastated by the effects of DDT. The challenges were prodigious--there was no model to emulate for a bird of the eagle's size, for one--but Tina soon found that her own path to self-discovery and confidence-building was deeply connected with the survival of the species she was chosen to protect.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUltimately, Tina spent two years playing \"mother\" to seven eaglets at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge, east of Seneca Falls in New York.
