An "open mic" post on the ABA Blog made some waves in the online birding community today. The Field Glass Ceiling by Brooke McDonald discusses disparities among male and female birders in different parts of the birding community. The post is a must-read for all thoughtful birders, as is the lively discussion taking place in the comment thread.
Not-so-coincidentally, today we have added two new designs to our gift shop. Bird Like a Girl and Bird Like a Girl ... Keep Up! are both available on a variety of girly-style tops as well as other fun swag.
This week's highlighted shirt is called Go Pelagic. The design is done in shades of sea blue and there is an ocean surf background to the word PELAGIC. This is great for birders that love looking for sea specialties from a boat. The seafaring birdwatcher design is shown here on a junior spaghetti tank top.
