Nerdy For Birdies - Birdwatching club Phoenix and Tucson

Nerdy For Birdies is a youth birdwatching club in the Phoenix and Tucson Arizona areas. We offer monthly birding outings at birding hot spots in Arizona.
 

Check our Google Calendar below for upcoming bird outings and classes. Please RSVP to events using our Google Doc form, so that we know how many nerdy birders will be attending and so we can email you a reminder with meeting location details. Most of our outings are FREE, some of the  classes may require a fee (so please  read all the event  details).  Some of the events on our calendar are not hosted by us and are birding events we wanted to help spread the word about in case your nerdy birder is looking for more birding and bird learning fun.

About Nerdy For Birdies:
Nerdy For Birdies was created to encourage more youth to get excited  about the hobby of birdwatching. My son Rowyn aka NinjaBirder, developed  a love for birding shortly after moving to Arizona in the Summer  of 2018. I wanted to encourage his love for his new hobby so I began to take him to monthly bird walks. We quickly noticed that he was the  only youth birder present at most of the bird walks and events we  attended. In August 2019 we attended our first birding festival in Tucson and decided it was time to find a way to introduce more youth to this fun  and exciting hobby. And so Nerdy For Birdies was born.

If you have questions please email us at nerdyforbirdies@gmail.com or text 678-457-0802.
