VIRTUAL PROGRAM - see details below on how to tune-in to the program.
Women have connected to birds long before there were binoculars, smart phones or social media. As culture and communications evolve, the stories of women's roles in ornithology and birding are emerging with due prominence. In pre-industrial America, it took special grit for a woman to stand out in any scientific endeavor, amid scores of men. It still takes effort, but the scales are tipping as women birders make a difference as ornithologists, teachers, researchers, writers, artists, tour operators, and inspiration for all who love wild birds. From Rosalie Edge - the hellcat of raptor conservation, and Harriet Hemenway - the plume-scorning fashionista, to Graceanna Lewis - the maverick of bird taxonomy, and Rachel Carson, whose book saved endangered species, women have been influential members of the birding community for millenia. Join Debbie Beer to learn about a few women whose names may be unfamiliar, but whose influence is indelible as a force beyond feathers.
Debbie Beer has been an avid birder for more than 20 years. She's traveled to multiple countries and continents for birding. John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge in Philadelphia is Debbie's favorite local patch, where she directs the annual "Big Sit" event and leads monthly bird walks. Debbie works for Natural Lands as Director of Volunteers. She is an avid eBirder, fellow of the Delaware Valley Ornithological Club (DVOC) and president of the Birding Club of Delaware County (BCDC).
