Feminist Bird Club Chicago (FBC) is dedicated to promoting inclusivity & safety in birding for everyone especially LGBTQIA2S+, BIPOC & disabled folks and women.
Join FBC's own Emily Tallo in search of migratory and breeding birds in Jackson Park's Wooded Island, including the Japanese Garden. Exact meeting location will be emailed to participants.
No prior experience with birdwatching is required. This is a beginner friendly event and organization. Families are also welcome to join (children do not need to RSVP). Binoculars will be available for loan upon request (email feministbirdclub.chicago@gmail.com).
