I’m birding for a better world! Can you cheer me on?
I'm excited to be a part of Feminist Bird Club's Birdathon for Congo! Our birding community is coming together to celebrate the inclusive nature of bird joy while fundraising for Friends of the Congo (FOTC), a nonprofit that amplifies, resources and empowers communities at the frontlines of the climate crisis in Congo.
Please help me reach my goal by leaving a flat donation or making a pledge to support my birding efforts! Your support will help provide critical funds for Friends of the Congo. Thank you for considering and stay tuned for my birding updates! 🐦

The neighborhood House Finches woke me up this morning! A Black-capped chickadee had a sip of water at the bird bath. The House Sparrows joined the yard party shortly after the others.
