My name is Kim (she/they) and I’m currently a species-at-risk biologist at the Canadian Wildlife Service and a co-founder of the newly hatched Vancouver chapter of the Feminist Bird Club. My family’s settler roots are on the Canadian Prairies, but the rest of me migrated here to (so-called) Vancouver in 2013. I’ve been passionate about nature since I was a child, which led me to my chosen bird-focused career. Along the way, I’ve encountered a lot of direct and indirect misogyny as a woman and femme-presenting human; unfortunately, birdwatching hasn’t been immune to that. Consider joining me if you’ve shared those experiences or just want to be on a bird walk with other women and femmes, no matter your birding level!”<p style="margin:0px;padding:0px;user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;overflow-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;vertical-align:baseline;font-kerning:none;text-align:left;text-indent:0px"> <p style="margin:0px;padding:0px;user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;overflow-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;vertical-align:baseline;font-kerning:none;text-align:left;text-indent:0px">Accessibility Information-The path of this walk can be modified for wheel chair or other mobility aids to the extent that paths around Queen Elizabeth Park allow.
