Atlanta + The Streets is Cawing - Get in Formation
Happy Spring y'all!
We're excited to announce that The Streets is Cawing and FBC Atlanta are joining forces to host "Get in Formation," a series of birding meetups in support of local community organizations.
Birds that migrate in the infamous V-formation don't do it for show, but survival.
Each bird takes a turn at the front, breaking the wind, making it easier for the rest.
They share the effort of moving the collective forward, support one another, and go farther together than any one we bird could alone.
That’s exactly how we should approach supporting our communities.
Each meetup will feature an opportunity to donate to local organizations making an impact where real need exists within our communities.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On May 10th, we'll be uplifting the Center for Black Women's Wellness and Flowing with Blessings.
Save the date on your calendar now:
Saturday, May 10th
9:00 am
Piedmont Park
Lake Clara Meer Dock
There will be an opportunity to donate in person at the event, as well as future FBC and TSC events throughout the month of May!
If you don't have funds to give, donations of time and supplies are also really valuable. Every contribution — donating, volunteering, or simply spreading the word — builds momentum, reduces resistance, and helps move us all forward.
And the best part? When we reinvest in our own communities, the impact stays here. It strengthens our neighborhoods, our schools, and our local businesses. So the request is simple: get in formation.
Note: Everyone is welcome to attend this event, but please note that we aim to uplift our Black, Indigenous and POC birders as well as our LGBTQIA+ community at this event. We ask that all attendees are committed to upholding space for our BIPOC, queer, and trans community.

This trip is designed for nature-enthusiasts of any birding level or mobility. Families welcome You can stop by for as long as you like, but our best chances of getting eyes on woodcocks are in the 7:15 - 7:45 window.
Look for us near the back of the parking lot, which is surrounded by brush on three sides. (GPS coordinates: 42.3959375, -72.5333125) Participants are welcome to remain in their vehicles or bring their own seating.

There are no bathrooms or built-in seating.
UMass Police will be notified of the event beforehand to avoid any conflicts. Contact FBC.WMA@gmail.com with questions and accessibility concerns.
Rain date: Sat 3/22 6:15-7:45 PM.

NYC - Weird Duck Time
You love it. We love it. It’s WEIRD DUCK TIME!
Join Alyssa, Jen, and Martha of FBC NYC as we visit Baisley Pond Park in Queens, one of the only places in NYC where the discerning birder can find that most delightful of winter duck visitor, the Redhead.
To register, please visit EventBrite~
For whatever reason, a flock of these gorgeous ducks congregate in this former glacial basin alongside Ring-necked Duck, Northern Shoveler, Pied-billed Grebe, and other aquatic delights. Plus if we’re lucky we might encounter Monk Parakeet, Brown Creeper, Cooper’s Hawk, and other late-fall NYC regulars.
One of these years we will not laugh hysterically when the Gadwall say “hey,” but chances are good that this will not be that year.
Accessibility: Baisley Pond is very flat and nearly all of the surfaces we would use are paved. Some walking over grass possible, especially to look at sparrows hiding in the phragmites along the pond edge. Benches scattered throughout, although sometimes quite far apart. Public restrooms theoretically available, but in the past it’s been hit or miss if the building is actually open.
[image description: Flyer with a photo of a duck with a rusty red head, a gray beak with a black tip, and bright golden eyes. Text reads: Weird Duck Time with Feminist Bird Club NYC. December 8, 9am to 11am. Baisley Pond Park]
NYC - Fall Birding with FBC NYC at Shirley Chisholm State Park
Join FBC NYC at Shirley Chisholm State Park in Brooklyn for some late fall grassland and bay birding!
For more information and to RSVP, please visit EventBrite
Late fall is an incredible time of transition in New York City as the final summer visitors say goodbye and our winter resident birds arrive, and the shoreline of Jamaica Bay is an excellent place to witness the action.
There’s no guarantee of what we might see, but hopefully we’ll get to appreciate some sparrows, some grassland-loving raptors like Northern Harrier and American Kestrel, and a whole mixture of ducks, geese, and gulls that live on or near the water.
If we’re lucky maybe we’ll even see a Purple Sandpiper, a shorebird species that really only spends time in NYC in winter.
When: Saturday November 23, 9am to 11am
Where: Shirley Chisholm State Park (exact meeting place to follow)
Accessibility: All of the trails we would use are paved or hard-packed earth and gravel. Some of the trails in the park have steep sections but we generally avoid those in favor of flat trails or those with very shallow inclines.
Port-a-potties available, with at least one cabin being ADA compliant.
We have a limited number of binoculars available to borrow. Please let us know beforehand if you need to borrow a pair.
Questions? Drop us a line at feministbirdclub.nyc@gmail.com
