This presentation is sponsored by Rutland County Audubon Society as part of their Nature Revealed art show at the Chaffee Art Center. It starts September 17 and runs through October 29. The show will feature nature-themed art by 30 artists and will include paintings, mixed medium, and photographs about what nature can show us.

Think of this presentation as the lost legacy of women in ornithology and the celebration of noticing female birds. Let’s face it, there’s a bit of bias in the birding world when it comes to females. Bridget Butler, the Bird Diva, breaks down why looking at current research on gender and birding, retelling the stories of the Mothers of Ornithology, and making the connection to the current science on female birds.
