Feminist Bird Club South Sound Outing (all genders/skill levels welcome) (FREE)

Join naturalists from Firecraft Northwest and other co-organizers of the Feminist Bird Club South Sound chapter for a morning of birds!
We’ll meet at Scatter Creek Wildlife Area in the Garry Oak prairie, a unique habitat for finding birds like Western Bluebirds, Western Meadowlark, White Breasted Nuthatches and more. Among the blooming wildflowers, we’ll do a slow meander to see what birds we can see and hear. All skill levels welcome; binoculars available to borrow.

About Feminist Bird Club
This is a local chapter of the national Feminist Bird Club organization. The Feminist Bird Club (FBC) is dedicated to promoting inclusivity in birding while providing a safe opportunity for members of the LGBTQIA+ community, BIPOC, and women to connect with the natural world. FBC’s goal is two-fold: Make birding and the outdoors inclusive and affirming to people who may not have safe access to it, and leverage people’s passion for the environment and social justice to help create lasting social change. More simply put: There is no reason why we can’t celebrate birds and support our most cherished beliefs in equity and justice at the same time. For us, it’s not either/or. Learn more about FBC principles.
