The Lost Legacy of Women in Birding

  • Isley Public Library (map)

This online presentation is sponsored by Menunkatuck Audubon Society in Guilford, Connecticut.


Think of this presentation as the her-story of birding.

Join Bird Diva Bridget Butler as she shares the lost legacy of women in ornithology and the celebration of noticing female birds. Let’s face it: there’s a bit of bias in the birding world when it comes to females. Bridget breaks down this bias by looking at current research on gender and birding, retelling the stories of the Mothers of Ornithology, and making the connection to the current science on female birds. You'll be surprised by what has been forgotten and how we can change the narrative moving forward to better support both the birding community and conservation!
