- Katharine "Kitty" (Clark) Harding Day (February 10, 1891 – ?) was an American ornithologist from Cohasset, Massachusetts. She was one of the first American women to use bird banding to study the nesting behavior of native American birds. Her pioneer studies of the nesting behavior of the veery (Catharus fuscescens) foreshadowed the discovery of cooperative parental care in that species nearly a century later. She conducted one of the first studies of the nesting biology of the black-throated blue warbler (Setophaga caerulescens). Her many contributions to Life Histories of North American Birds (1919– 1968), edited by Arthur Cleveland Bent, were invariably credited under the name "Mrs. Richard B. Harding". She is the namesake of a sphinx moth, Xylophanes katharinae, which was described by her father in 1931: "I have given this form the name [Xylophanes] katharinae in honor of my daughter Mrs. Richard B. Harding, because of her keen interest in science and because this form is so close to X. josephinae, named for my wife." (en)
