Looking for ways to get involved in conservation and make a difference for birds?

You're invited to join BirdNote and The Black AF in STEM Collective r a special Black Birders Week conversation with passionate volunteers who will explore topics like the Lights Out campaign, window collision monitoring, counting birds at your backyard feeder, migration tracking, and more.

Gulls: Unapologetically Themselves

Presented by Jason Hall of In Color Birding Club (Philly) and co-host of The Bird Joy Podcast

Tired of skipping past gulls because they all look the same? Let’s change that.

Join Jason Hall for a relaxed, judgment-free session where we leave the intimidation behind. We’ll explore the unexpected beauty, bold personalities, and unique traits of gulls — from their clever behaviors to their subtle ID marks.

No more “seagull” shame.

No more stress. Just gulls, being unapologetically themselves, and you, getting to know them.
