A Feminist Revolution In Birding
<p>Wherever Noah Strycker goes, he tends to be the center of attention. In 2015, Strycker, then 29, set a world record by tracking down 6,042 bird species in 41 countries. Since then, he’s been a birding superstar, headlining festivals and guiding walks around the globe.</p>
<p>But for a bunch of the women who attended a walk Strycker led in Key Biscayne, Florida in October 2017, he didn’t turn out to be the main attraction. Nor did the <a href="https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Magnificent_Frigatebird" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Magnificent Frigatebirds</a>, the <a href="https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/indigo_bunting" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Indigo Buntings</a>, or the dozens of other species the group was lucky enough to spot.</p>
<p>Instead, the six women, who hadn’t met before, found themselves drawn to one another.</p>
<p>Most of them had been on walks with Miami’s Audubon chapter and other bird clubs; several had been birding for over a decade. But they’d never felt comfortable in the birding community.</p>
