More info & RSVP at EventBrite Over the last few centuries, human impact on the environment has grown dramatically—often at the expense of the species we share this planet with. Systems rooted in extraction have replaced ways of living in reciprocity with nature… but it doesn’t have to stay that way. As bird lovers, we stand at a powerful intersection: witnessing birds up close ✨ while also advocating for their protection. But even well-meaning birding can sometimes cross the line—from observation to unintended harm. Join us for a thoughtful conversation with Faraaz Abdool (he/him)—wildlife photographer , poet ✍️, and environmental advocate —who approaches nature with deep care, reverence, and connection.

This outing is designed as an affinity event for Queer, BIPOC, and/or Neurodivergent folks who want to spend time birding in a welcoming community space. This will be a relaxed, social walk focused on enjoying birds together and collective knowledge sharing. Whether you're completely new to birding or have some experience, you're welcome to join. Participants can expect to see 20–40 bird species depending on conditions. Possible sightings include lingering ducks and waterfowl, American Kestrels, returning swallows, Turkey Vultures, and maybe even Osprey. The pace will be relaxed with multiple stops to look and listen for birds. This is a great outing for people interested in exploring birding in the Troutdale/Gresham area while connecting with others in community. https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/fbc-atlanta-march-birding-at-lullwater-preserve monthly 0.5 2026-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/f3fa5869-2ffd-4d60-b3f9-8aacdc2f8fd0/Screenshot+2026-03-06+at+4.45.00%E2%80%AFPM.png Events - FBC Atlanta - March Birding at Lullwater Preserve - Join FBC Atlanta at Lullwater Preserve!

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. https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/woodcocks-acab monthly 0.5 2025-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/f422682d-0460-44f4-a5fb-1d1bc9c4a689/Come+Peenting+with+ACAB%21.png Events - Western Mass - Woodcocks or bust? with ACAB - It’s time for our annual woodcock watch and sunset birding social!!

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. What to bring: A well-fitting (K)N95 mask. Layers for an early Spring evening. A chair, folding stool, or picnic blanket. Optional: binoculars, beverages. Accessibility: This event requires (k)n95 type masks. We will have some to share! We request that attendees observe social distancing, especially when unmasking to snack or hydrate. This will be a stationary, wheelchair-accessible birding meetup in a well-lit, flat, paved parking lot. This lot is large and should be pretty empty and quiet while students are on spring break. 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.

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.

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.

Where we’ll meet: Park along the road near the intersection of Pondside Rd & Birnie Rd. There is no designated parking area, but pulling off on Pondside Rd is acceptable and safe. You’ll see a pull-off and a boardwalk leading to a gazebo. There is no parking lot or designated van-accessible parking. The nearest bus stop is the flag stop at the intersection of Longmeadow St & Summit Ave, about a mile from our meeting location. (The walk from this bus stop runs along GORGEOUS birding habitat, but please get in touch if you need a ride from here.) You can meet us for all or some of the time. If you are running late, please look for us along the stretch of Pondside Rd described below! Accessibility & what to expect: This location can be birded with a stationary effort including from the accessible, covered gazebo or from your car. Depending on interest and prevailing weather conditions, we may walk a short distance (less than 0.5 mile) south along Pondside Rd, which is a flat asphalt road with low traffic and many pedestrians. The road and the boardwalk that overlooks the ponds can usually be navigated by wheelchairs and other mobility aids (but may not meet accessibility standards in case of freezing precipitation). The gazebo has benches and guardrails that don’t obstruct a seated view. There are no bathrooms but a portable toilet is occasionally present a quarter mile away. Please note that Pondside Rd runs parallel to the railway tracks, and while trains are infrequent and typically out of view from the road, the noise and proximity to our birding route may be difficult for those who experience auditory/sensory overload. Safety: At this time, our events are only open to vaccinated participants. Please be prepared to wear a mask if social distancing becomes difficult or if high-risk individuals are in attendance. (If a disability prevents you from meeting these requirements, you are still welcome here, but please contact us prior to the event so we can talk through how we can best support everyone’s safety!) What to bring: Please bring a mask! Binoculars will be available to borrow if you don’t have one. A scope is also recommended and we will have a couple to share.

We will also encourage folks to contemplate the meaning of resistance, and center gratitude, innovation and compassion as a way to enact change. About the film: Palestinian protest against Israeli occupation has taken many forms in the past seven decades. In his own form of dissent, artist @khaledJarrar designs postage and passport stamps for the State of Palestine, using the Palestine Sunbird as the motif. This Al Jazeera World film focuses on Jarrar as he achieves major breakthroughs after having his work being repeatedly censored and turned away by governments and postal systems across the world. This is one man's story of a peaceful Palestinian protest - a creative yet provocative way of promoting the Palestinian cause across the world. [adapted from YouTube caption by Al Jazeera English] Access info: Registration required. You will receive the Zoom meeting link prior to the screening, which will be held at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT on Saturday, November 4. This film features dialog in multiple languages, with English subtitles. A few sentences of spoken English in the movie may not have captioning. Any conversations that occur during the event will have auto-generated Closed Captions. This event is free and open to everyone— but we encourage you to donate to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund @thePCRF via the attached fundraiser. [Image description: still from film of a stamp being engraved. The lettering on the stamp reads “Palestine” and there is a carving of the Palestine Sunbird and some flowers.

We’ll be hosting a pop-up birding event where you can sit and/or meander with us at Rock Creek Park on September 17th, 8 - 10 AM. One group will sit at the benches and/or the picnic tables across from the Rock Creek Nature Center to soak in the goodness that are the big old trees and edge habitat. We can chat, laugh, and also hold space to be a bit more quiet and invite the birds in. Another group will meander towards a beloved, informal trail by the Maintenance building - or the nearby horse trail - where we have had fantastic luck in the past seeing migrating warblers against a canopy of vines and trees. We will slowly move and mostly stay in one place once we find a good spot. Everyone is welcome, especially members of the LGBTQIA+ community, people with disabilities, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), and women. No prior birding experience is necessary - we have amateur birders on our leadership team - and you are welcome to stay for some or all of the event. Registration is strongly encouraged, but is not required. It’s helpful to get a head-count in order to plan accordingly. If you have any questions about the outing, have any accessibility needs, or have any other thoughts, please reach out to us. We truly want to hear from you and want everyone to be able to feel bird joy to the fullest.

Let’s kick off the Occidental Pride celebration by birding together and reveling in the breathtaking views from Bodega Head. For more information and to RSVP, please visit EventBrite! Bodega Head is a rocky headland that forms the entrance to Bodega Harbor and is a great location to spot migrating whales (in late winter through spring, so we’ll be going back next year), coastal wildflowers, and of course, BIRDS!! We will be birding along the coastal bluffs where we might see Brandt’s and Pelagic cormorants, Pigeon Guillemot, Black Oystercatcher, Savannah Sparrow, and more. Afterwards we will head down to Campbell Cove beach for picnicking, merriment, and naturally, more birding (BYO picnic, we’ll bring something to share). We are so excited to be a part of Occidental Pride and for another opportunity to bird and hang with you lovelies. We'll be strolling or sitting around Bodega Head (we might break into smaller groups depending on interest) to observe birds and other wildlife together. We will start by the cliffs adjacent to the parking lot and check out the pelagic species. There are picnic tables and benches for those who want to sit here. For those wishing to stroll, we will continue along the Bodega Head Trail, birding along the bluffs and the coastal prairie. More expert birders will be there to share some tips for learning how to ID different species. Around 11am we will head down the hill to Campbell Cove beach for some extracurricular social time. Let’s share snacks and stories while we hang on the beach and look for surprise birds in the Cove. Note: This is not a formal guided tour or instructional experience – it's a community gathering to bird together. https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/bbg-pride-night monthly 0.5 2023-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/8e34d589-f259-4b3b-8dad-92959f1effb5/QSN_BkBotanic_post-2023-d.jpg Events - NYC - Pride Night at Brooklyn Botanic Garden - Join Feminist Bird Club, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and Queer Soup Night for Pride Night at the Botanic Garden!

It's part of the fourth annual Black Birders Week, with daily themes from May 28 to June 3 to Highlight Expressive Ways in Which We Share Our Love for Birds. “Last year, we focused on celebrating lifelong journeys and connections made through birding,” said Nicole Jackson, one of this year’s planning team co-chairs. “This year, #BlackBirdersWeek is taking you on a tour, focusing on themes like, how Black birders share their joy of birds through a variety of means of expression, history and culture, and citizen science. For all members of BlackAFinSTEM, birding has been an incredible journey in many different ways and we know this to be true for other Black birders throughout America and the diaspora. We would like to engage and share the stories of as many Black birders as we can, uplifting their connections to birds. This year we are Flying Full Circle!” To learn more about Black Birders Week, visit www.blackafinstem.com https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/no-drop-birding-by-bike-western-mass monthly 0.5 2023-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/89ecdf3b-86ab-44a3-84d8-9c7f552a32f2/IMG_1521.png Events - Western Mass x ACAB x All Bodies on Bikes - No-drop Birding by Bike - Join FBC Western Mass (ACAB) and All Bodies on Bikes Western Mass for a birding by bike outing at the Norwottuck Rail Trail in Amherst, MA on May 28, 2023 at 10am.

We’ll get up to our usual birding shenanigans, but with a twist: we’ll specifically be looking and listening for female birds. This kind of birding is slightly slower-paced, in that we’ll spend time watching for behaviors like nest-building in addition to all of the other ways we enjoy birds in their natural environment. Never even thought about female birds before? No worries! Galbatross Project co-founder Martha will be on hand to help and to share knowledge about this particular birding practice. Pelham Bay Park is New York City’s largest park and has a wide variety of habitats, so we’ll be on the lookout for warblers, thrushes, ducks, gulls, terns, jays and crows, a variety of raptors, herons and egrets, sparows, and more! Bronx-based birder Alyssa will be our birding guide through the park. Register here! Pelham Bay ParkAccessibility notes: Pelham Bay Park is quite large and varied. Some paths are paved, while others are compressed gravel, wood chips, or hard-packed dirt. Many are decently wide, but some are narrow or have uneven surfaces. The park has a number of public restrooms scattered throughout, and we should be near at least one at the beginning or end of our walk.

Let's go look for some Clapper Rail! For more info and to RSVP, please visit EventBrite! Get ready to meet your new favorite bird. The Clapper Rail, one of the “secretive marsh birds” that inhabit wetlands across the hemisphere, can be tough to find in New York City unless you know where to go and know what you’re looking and listening for. Join Clapper Rail enthusiasts Jen and Martha for a jaunt through Marine Park Salt Marsh to try to find these amazing chicken-like birds with jaunty little tail feathers! In addition to Clapper Rail, we could also see and hear Ring-necked Pheasant, Black-crowned Night-Heron, Marsh Wren, Boat-tailed Grackle, American Oystercatcher, and possibly even a Red-headed Woodpecker! Note: Space on the trails at the salt marsh can be limited. As such, we ask that only registered participants come to this event. If you register, and then realize that you can’t come, please cancel your EventBrite order so we can open up spots for the waiting list! Remember! A Donation Ticket is still a ticket! You don't need to get a separate ticket if you opt to donate to this event. Accessibility Notes: Marine Park Salt Marsh and surrounding areas are mostly flat and paved, are boardwalk, or are compressed gravel walkway. Facilities are somewhat limited but there are Port-a-Pots on site. You’ll want to bring water and a snack and wear comfortable shoes. The area can get buggy and there is very little tree cover in the marsh, so insect repellent and sun protection are highly recommended.

Trip leader: Rebecca Doris What to expect: Expect warblers and other neotropical migrants, sparrows, thrushes, swallows and more. After about 1 mile, we will reach the perimeter fence of Westover Air Reserve Base, where we may be able to see upland sandpipers, Grasshopper Sparrows, eastern meadowlarks, American kestrels, and savannah sparrows. What to bring: binoculars if you have them, footwear that is appropriate for muddy conditions, water. There are no benches or designated rest areas, but we will go slowly and stop as needed.

More tick prevention tips from the CDC. Accessibility: This is not a wheelchair accessible trail. There are two gates with narrow openings. The path is fairly flat and wide, but unpaved for the most part and feels like a typical woods walk with rocks, roots, and muddy/wet areas. Depending on the rainfall, it may be quite wet, so wear boots. There are no toilets. Please note that we have submitted a report to the town of Ludlow about a downed tree over one area of the path, but the tree may not be cleared by the time of this walk.If you have any other accessibility needs or questions please reach out to Rebecca.

This is an opportunity to meet fellow birders, learn a bit about the coastal ecosystem and its birds, or simply connect with nature. https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/winter-shirley-chisholm monthly 0.5 2023-01-18 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/atlanta-westview monthly 0.5 2023-01-18 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/pdx-winter-auto-tour monthly 0.5 2023-01-05 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/denver-january-outing monthly 0.5 2023-01-22 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/winter-wave-hill monthly 0.5 2023-01-01 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/nyc-winter-bird-walk-in-prospect-park-with-jen-kepler monthly 0.5 2022-12-19 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/dmv-weird-duck-time-at-huntley-meadows-park monthly 0.5 2022-12-09 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/durham-hollow-rock-nature-park monthly 0.5 2022-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/6136fc23-bd8b-4e74-8d8d-db5482f31a04/Hollow+Rock+1211.png Events - Durham - Hollow Rock Nature Park Join the Durham Chapter for morning birding at Hollow Rock Nature Park on December 11 from 9am to 11am. https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/la-river monthly 0.5 2022-12-05 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/qutdhvfgbuyymlmbfz648ub7kiy2tf monthly 0.5 2022-12-02 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/portland-laurelhurst-park monthly 0.5 2022-12-02 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/england-inaugural-event monthly 0.5 2022-11-30 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/mk3d5wttlm2utaltdxs1xmn0dgppgi monthly 0.5 2022-11-30 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/inverness-birds-bevs-and-board-games monthly 0.5 2022-11-30 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/buffalo-winter-waterfowl-walk monthly 0.5 2022-11-30 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/richmond-wingspan-game-night monthly 0.5 2022-11-30 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/nyc-weird-duck-season-at-van-cortlandt-park monthly 0.5 2022-11-30 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/nyc-collective-healing-x-feminist-bird-club monthly 0.5 2022-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/a1dc183f-6839-4390-b056-0a2b80c60b50/Screen+Shot+2022-11-10+at+7.39.03+PM.png Events - NYC - Collective Healing x Feminist Bird Club https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/seattle-december-happy-crow-hour monthly 0.5 2022-11-11 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/seattle-november-sit-stroll monthly 0.5 2022-11-11 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/denver-november-outing monthly 0.5 2022-11-01 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/richmond-ginter monthly 0.5 2022-11-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/85a48d0b-7d6b-4940-8c8a-b9521be22c1a/260177+%281%29.jpeg Events - Richmond - Birding at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden - FBC RVA is so excited to be hosting a birding event at @lewisginter on Sunday, Nov. 20th at 9am!

After her husband was murdered by Bolsheviks, she refused her Swedish privilege and joined the Canadian Red Cross, visiting her northern Ontario patients by dogsled. When Elzire Dionne gave birth to five babies, Louise became nurse to the Dionne Quintuplets. Repulsed by the media circus, she retreated to her wilderness cabin, where she devoted herself to studying the birds that nested in her forest. Author of six books and scores of magazine stories, de Kiriline Lawrence and her “loghouse nest” became a Mecca for international ornithologists. Lawrence was an old woman when Merilyn Simonds moved into the woods not far away. Their paths crossed, sparking Simonds’s lifelong interest. A dedicated birder, Simonds brings her own songbird experiences from Canadian nesting grounds and Mexican wintering grounds to this deeply researched, engaging portrait of a uniquely fascinating woman.” - ECW Press Visit ECW Press, your local independent bookstore, or the public library to pick up your own copy of Women, Watching https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/crane-foundation monthly 0.5 2022-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/89f426c4-d913-4050-b55d-2daef7cdd9fb/Screen+Shot+2022-08-10+at+10.09.40+PM.png Events - Madison - Tour the International Crane Foundation - Join us on a private tour of the International Crane Foundation, followed by some birding at the ICF trails.

Our popular September Swift Night Out Social, co-hosted with the BIPOC Birding Club of Wisconsin, is returning for round two! Pack a dinner or grab some takeout, bring a lawn chair or blanket, and meet us on the lawn of Cherokee Heights Middle School (4301 Cherokee Dr, Madison, WI 53711) on Friday, September 9th at 6:30pm. We hope this evening will be the perfect opportunity for our members to socialize, meet new people who love birds, and of course learn about Chimney Swifts and their unique roosting behaviors! If you haven't visited a swift roost or participated in a Swift Night Out event before, you won't want to miss this. The spectacle of hundreds of Chimney Swifts pouring into the tall chimney is a sight to behold. No RSVP required. There is a wide, open lawn with ample space for everyone to safely spread out. Extra binoculars will be available.Be sure to bring: Food and drink for yourself, a blanket or lawn chair, a jacket for when the sun goes down, and your binoculars (though this is a sight that can easily be enjoyed without them!) Accessibility info: There is free parking available in the school parking lot and along nearby sidestreets. There are two short sets of stairs from the parking lot to the lawn. There is a wheelchair ramp, but it does not lead all the way to the lawn. If you need to avoid stairs, we recommend parking on a nearby side street (Nakoma or Midvale). Note: Chimney Swifts begin using communal roosts in late August and September. While they have historically used the tall chimney at Cherokee Heights, there is always a possibility they may choose a different, nearby roosting site this year or the timing of their roosting will shift. We won't know until early September if that's the case, but we'll update everyone if the location or date changes! https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/birmingham-avondale monthly 0.5 2022-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/237590f8-a4b2-4025-8a95-8ae7bff9d0f2/296820292_10226347837454964_2079004188165652151_n.jpg Events - Birmingham, AL- Avondale Park - No RSVP necessary! https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/nyc-shorebirding-with-feminist-bird-club-11am monthly 0.5 2022-08-11 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/nyc-shorebirding-with-feminist-bird-club monthly 0.5 2022-08-11 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/ny-feminist-bird-clerb-with-hike-clerb monthly 0.5 2022-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/f1c12e5c-f288-46f4-a0f2-e0c6371b2211/Screen+Shot+2022-08-09+at+10.05.53+AM.png Events - NYC - Feminist Bird Clerb with Hike Clerb - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.feministbirdclub.org/events/denver-wheatridge-greenbeltprospect-park monthly 0.5 2022-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/ce6b8f15-deab-4edf-b382-106f24d5e5fc/Screen+Shot+2022-08-09+at+9.47.15+AM.png Events - Denver - Wheatridge Greenbelt/Prospect Park - To RSVP and for more info, please visit EventBrite~ Please join us for a bird outing on August 13th from 8:30 AM-10:30 AM at the Wheatridge Greenbelt/Prospect Park.

Restrooms and water available.

Seasoned FBC guide and dedicated gull enthusiast Ryan Mandelbaum will be helping us find and identify members of this most underappreciated bird family. Come learn how to ID winter-plumaged Herring, Ring-billed, and Great Black-backed Gulls! If we’re lucky, we might get a rare Iceland Gull or Black-headed Gull. And while gulls will be our focus, New York Harbor also has lots of weird winter ducks, visiting Great Cormorants, and maybe even a seal or two!

Birders and photographers have long appreciated them, but unfortunately, their actions can threaten the wellbeing of these charismatic animals. We’ve compiled a guide for birders and photographers of all backgrounds and levels of experience to help ensure the best practices when owling, and help these wonderful birds continue to thrive.

Rosemary Mosco is a science writer and cartoonist who makes the nature comic Bird and Moon and coined the term "weird duck time". Her range covers wide swaths of the US northeast, where she loves observing birds, herps, plants, butterflies, and all sorts of other flora and fauna. Check out her work at: rosemarymosco.com All proceeds for this year’s patch sale will be going to Anera, an organization which has been helping those who need immediate aid in the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan and Lebanon since the 1960’s. In addition to emergency relief, they also help establish programs that aim to improve education, economic systems and healthcare. 2024 patch sales have raised nearly $10,000 for Anera - learn more about their mission and donate directly here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/fbdbbdb6-8270-4d8c-81e1-4421e760e7c4/Nighthawk_Smaller.png Our Work Our 2023 Patch bird was the Common Nighthawk! With 2023’s patch bird lovingly nicknamed “goth patch”, we fulfilled our deep desire to showcase a nocturnal species (without flash photography or spotlights, of course). The nighthawk was illustrated by Frances Ngo (she/her) (@tiny_zoologist). Ngo is a queer artist, zoologist, and multiracial Mexican-Chinese poet who draws artistic inspiration from her experience in wildlife conservation, from banding birds and preparing museum specimens, to organizing with communities devoted to equitable conservation. 50% of patch sales were donated to Wildflower Alliance (@wildfloweralliance), a grassroots peer-support, advocacy and training organization with a focus on harm reduction and human rights, which seeks to increase collective power for marginalized people. We are thrilled to be supporting and amplifying Wildflower Alliance in their mission to both advocate for broad systemic transformation, and create pathways for individual healing. We have been inspired by their support for people who have been impacted by psychiatric diagnoses, trauma, homelessness, incarceration, problems with substance use, and other life-interrupting challenges. The other 50% of patch sales went toward supporting our expanding chapter network and normalizing paying LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and disabled event leaders for their time and expertise. 2023 patch sales raised $5300 for Wildflower Alliance- learn more about their mission and donate directly here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/b2493f41-d5d5-478f-92b8-af2e98413d5f/FBC+PATCH+2022.jpg Our Work - The female Belted Kingfisher illustration for the 2022 patch was created for us by Nayl Gonzalez, who illustrated the book Something Wonderful and the official line drawing for newly discovered Chorizanthe aphanantha which was published and premiered in Madroño Vol. 65 No.4. 2020 patch sales raised $10,000 to Honor the Earth's Land Back Initiative. Honor the Earth is a Native-run organization that aims to create awareness for and support Native environmental issues as well as provide financial and political resources for the survival of sustainable Native communities. The kingfisher and her call are a symbol of healthy rivers and waters. We wanted to collectively recognize the female Belted Kingfisher is flashier than her male counterparts (also they are just such cool birds!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/33cc2fa5-3aad-4160-8a18-51abcc1236c0/FBC+PATCH+2021.jpg Our Work - Our 2021 patch featured a female Yellow Warbler drawn by Certified Science Illustrator Liz Wahid. 2021 patch sales allowed us to donate just over $10,000 to The Native Wellness Institute. Their mission is to promote wellness and healing within Native communities, using training and techniques rooted in Native culture. We believe that providing care to yourself and your community is more important now than ever, and we are thrilled to support this organization. We were also able to donate $2,950 to National Network of Abortion Funds in 2021, and $6,700 in 2022 then thanks to a generous match from Noah Clothing. Yellow Warblers tend to bring a little sunshine and joy into your day when out birding. We highlighted this species to celebrate bringing joy into this year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/c11b7c2d-6e88-44c0-b76e-f2e68bd635c7/FBC+PATCH+2020.jpg Our Work - 2020 patches were graced with a Pileated Woodpecker, illustrated by Bird Collective's Angie Co. This bird's range extends to nearly every current chapter of the Feminist Bird Club. Just over $8,000 in proceeds from the patch were split and donated to T.G.I. Justice Project and Make the Road NY. The Transgender Gender-Variant & Intersex Justice Project's (TGIJP) mission is to challenge and end the human rights abuses committed against transgender, gender variant/genderqueer and intersex (TGI) people in California prisons and beyond. Make the Road NY builds the power of Latinx and working class communities of color to achieve dignity and justice through organizing, policy innovation, transformative education and the provision of survival services. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/487ba3ad-3a07-4d08-93e2-a9b16a5029f2/FBC+PATCH+2019.jpg Our Work - Thank you to Annie Novak for the Snowy Owl illustration, which is meant to serve as a reminder to follow 1(b) and 1(c) of the ABA Code of Birding Ethics if these winter migrants are viewable in your area. 2019 patches and stickers raised more than $6,400 and was split between Pueblo sin Fronteras, a group of volunteers who has been working for the past 15 years to safely assist migrants and refugees in crossing the Mexico/U.S. border and the Native Youth Sexual Health Network (NYSHN), an organization by and for Indigenous youth that works across issues of sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice throughout the United States and Canada. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/1f95f70d-0994-458e-b3b4-be9051a33690/FBC+PATCH+2018.jpg Our Work - Terri Nelson illustrated our 2018 bird - the Spotted Sandpiper. These birds have been observed engaging in polyandry, making them a fun choice for the FBC patch bird. Thanks to everyone who purchased a 2018 patch, which allowed us to donate upwards of $4,500 to Black Lives Matter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/f52e6bf8-0eb2-4d74-abd0-a39cec3335aa/FBC+PATCH+2017.jpg Our Work - The Black Skimmer was chosen to showcase a unique shorebird that nests on New York City beaches during the summer months, since at the time it was created Feminist Bird Club was still only in NYC. Special thanks to Brooklyn artist and NYC chapter leader Jen Kepler for the illustration! 2017 patch sales raised $2,000 total. $1,000 was donated to New York Abortion Access Fund and $1,000 to the Women's Initiative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/cd562106-fa3b-4ff1-8f46-9437eafb436e/FBC+PATCH+2016.jpg Our Work - The Painted Bunting on the 2016 patch was embroidered by referencing photographs and field guides. Highlighting this species was a nod to the male Painted bunting observed by many in Prospect Park, Brooklyn during the winter of 2015/2016. This patch raised $300 dollars in donations for Planned Parenthood NYC. https://www.feministbirdclub.org/birdingforabetterworld daily 0.75 2024-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/01f0bfb2-89da-4377-ac7b-fe43454823b5/PA_Birding_Better_World_CVR_OP.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/e2ff5964-3613-4fd7-839a-e65d3a5e066c/Looking+to+share+your+journal+prompt+answers+Click+here%21+%281%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/2f40ad6d-59d2-423f-8f5a-8226076a2a18/AD_1X1-04-SM.jpg https://www.feministbirdclub.org/2026-patch daily 0.75 2026-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/1728ce09-5a5a-4119-ba15-fb197b89e457/FBC+2026+Patch+Coloring+Page.png https://www.feministbirdclub.org/shop daily 0.75 2021-12-22 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/shop/all monthly 0.5 2026-01-30 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/shop/annual-patch-sale monthly 0.5 2026-01-30 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/shop/magnets monthly 0.5 2022-08-17 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/shop/stickers monthly 0.5 2026-02-01 https://www.feministbirdclub.org/shop/p/feminist-bird-club-2021-patch-sb57d-6zxtl monthly 0.5 2026-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/5b5d5402-d4e3-494c-bb46-4ffcb50fb91e/IMG_7110.jpg Shop - [2023 Edition] Feminist Bird Club 2023 Patch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/1673545136446-VH74W3YQ1MB6UALH0VX1/DSC07858.JPG Shop - [2023 Edition] Feminist Bird Club 2023 Patch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/1673545162936-MGRDS3OTLWL0MJSHCSLX/DSC07847.JPG Shop - [2023 Edition] Feminist Bird Club 2023 Patch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/1673545186819-TKD3MXYAID78P9541AZG/DSC07835.JPG Shop - [2023 Edition] Feminist Bird Club 2023 Patch https://www.feministbirdclub.org/shop/p/feminist-bird-club-2021-patch-sb57d-6zxtl-kcd4y monthly 0.5 2026-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/1705083365975-KDQG6PBDMETN03IIA3NC/IMG_0450.jpg Shop - [2024 Edition] Feminist Bird Club 2024 Patch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/1705083424987-S5BS7WEE0YJS2MLRRPS9/DSC02011.JPG Shop - [2024 Edition] Feminist Bird Club 2024 Patch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/1705083424988-WL6X1UMG1ZSCJGKV1Y14/DSC02022.JPG Shop - [2024 Edition] Feminist Bird Club 2024 Patch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/1705083541817-US3T5Y72M0UGWUT067J7/DSC02000.JPG Shop - [2024 Edition] Feminist Bird Club 2024 Patch https://www.feministbirdclub.org/shop/p/feminist-bird-club-2021-patch-sb57d-6zxtl-kcd4y-8yek2-lazzl monthly 0.5 2026-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/f0407599-0f28-4573-a57d-07cd56b91bc8/FBC+2026+patch+scan.jpg Shop - Feminist Bird Club 2026 Patch - FBC 2026 patch scan.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/f1b9f603-f7de-40c4-97f8-c712f0f38aa9/2026patch2.JPG Shop - Feminist Bird Club 2026 Patch - 2026patch2.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/a8c9c03b-0544-49a4-be71-5db3b1501114/2026patch1.JPG Shop - Feminist Bird Club 2026 Patch - 2026patch1.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/9e059925-ee12-47cd-8a21-622f299c28ce/DSC07767.JPG Shop - Feminist Bird Club 2026 Patch - DSC07767.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/cb2eb274-0f04-4c34-8d55-390fc5ce2678/2026patch4.JPG Shop - Feminist Bird Club 2026 Patch - 2026patch4.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/c18644ca-df30-411a-9435-fa97f8c1684b/2026patch3.JPG Shop - Feminist Bird Club 2026 Patch - 2026patch3.JPG https://www.feministbirdclub.org/shop/p/feminist-bird-club-2021-patch-sb57d-6zxtl-kcd4y-8yek2-lazzl-ffgyt monthly 0.5 2026-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/b9ef1ca6-03e3-444c-bc02-5f64e54f15d0/DSC07786.png Shop - American Woodcock Lenticular Sticker 2.5in - DSC07786.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/e9f94aa7-54b5-40b3-8966-285f239cee4a/DSC07783.JPG Shop - American Woodcock Lenticular Sticker 2.5in - DSC07783.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/be56c43e-6d50-465c-8cc7-cddeae9b57de/DSC07777.JPG Shop - American Woodcock Lenticular Sticker 2.5in - DSC07777.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f640b250e271312cd190799/d8f7467f-9ad2-4d72-bfa8-ac69cb584a51/DSC07780.JPG Shop - American Woodcock Lenticular Sticker 2.5in - DSC07780.JPG
