Jessie Maye Smith : ウィキペディア英語版 | Jessie Maye Smith
Jessie Maye Smith, also known as "The Bird Lady of Tarrant County", was a self-taught ornithologist, made famous by a series of newspaper articles entitled "Birds and Watchers" which she published in the ''Fort Worth Star-Telegram'' from 1953–1975. ==Early years== Jessie Maye Smith was born in Wilbarger County, Texas on April 8, 1907. She grew up in Chillicothe, Texas and attended West Texas State College, studying English. In the 1920s, her family moved to Fort Worth where she met her future husband, Wade Austin Smith. The couple married in May 1928. It was around this time that an incident occurred which would inspire Jessie Maye Smith to take up birdwatching. She had accompanied her husband on a fishing trip and saw a red bird fly by. Knowing it wasn't a cardinal, she became intrigued and began conducting research at the local library to identify the species. It was during her study of these books, that she became fascinated with bird watching- a passion that would last the rest of her life.
