The Galbatrosses are organizing a weekend of female-focused birding this weekend and would like you to join them! 

“An unconscious bias against female birds is widespread in birding,” writes Kenn Kaufman. " As birders and ornithologists, we assume that many female birds are duller, quieter, and less behaviorally complex and interesting than their counterparts. But recent science has exposed the myth behind this idea."

The Galbatrosses are a group of scientists, birders, writers, and conservationists who are connected through the National Audubon Society. They first came together to count feathered females at the 2019 World Series of Birding and are now looking to share the love and nerdiness with the rest of their diverse community.
