Lillian Kardell, nicknamed the Bird Woman, lived with her father on a 40 acre Florida land grant near Lake Norris. They befriended scrub jays and other birds, hosted 42 visitors from many states, and inspired letters to Eustis while carving a fairyland with wisteria and silk wall art. After her father’s death the birds dispersed and loneliness set in.
