Bird Babes
A welcoming community for birders of all levels — gathering in the Eastern Sierra to share knowledge, curiosity, and a love for birds.
Our mission is to create an inclusive and welcoming space for birders of all experience levels—from first-time birdwatchers to seasoned experts—to connect, explore, and celebrate the incredible birds of the Eastern Sierra.
Through regular community gatherings, we aim to foster curiosity, deepen our knowledge of local ecosystems, and build lasting friendships through shared discovery and appreciation for the natural world.
