FWAS November Special General Meeting on Saturday Morning: Birdie Big Year
November 9 @ 9:00 am - 11:30 am
Join us for our November meeting on a Saturday Morning at 10:00 AM. There will be a social time with snacks at 9:00 AM.
Our program is Birdie Big Year: Elevating Women Birders presented by Tiffany Kirsten.
Tiffany didn’t set out to do a Big Year, but after a series of unanticipated and serendipitous events, she suddenly found herself amidst one. As a sexual assault survivor, she spent 2021 traveling to all corners of the country, tallying birds and gifting personal safety alarms to women she met along the way. Her goal was to see 700 species, and to raise awareness of women’s safety in the outdoors. She ended up surpassing her goal and setting a new record, with 726 species. In her presentation, Tiffany will lead us through the fear, empowerment, struggles, and healing that all played vital roles in the personal growth she experienced on this wild adventure.
NOTE: This meeting will be both in-person and streamed on Zoom.
(PLEASE: Recordings not allowed.)
