Little Sit for Birders

April 27 @ 8:30 am - 11:30 am

Join Philly Queer Birders, In Color Birding Club, Feminist Bird Club, Philadelphia Center for Adaptive Sports, and Disability PA for a stationary birding event, the Little Sit, at Bartram’s Garden! This will be a morning of intentionally accessible birding and we encourage people with all skill levels to attend (even if you have never been birding!) If you have an accessibility question, request, or need, please include it below and we will do our best to accommodate.

The Little Sit is our answer to a typically day-long, stationary birding event called a “big sit,” where groups try to see as many birds in one location as possible. For our event, folks are welcome to show up at any time between 8:30am-11:30am and stay for as long or as short as they want. We’ll have snacks and refreshments and encourage people to bring chairs, picnic blankets, or anything that will make you comfortable for a morning stationary birding. We’ll have name tags so you can easily meet other birding friends!
