Nerdy For Birdies is a youth birdwatching club that holds outings in Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona areas.
Check our Google Calendar below for upcoming bird outings and classes. Please RSVP to events using our Google Doc, 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. Rowyn and his sister passed away on November 7, 2022 in a car accident. The Nerdy For Birdies bird club and the Phoenix Metro Christmas Bird Count which Rowyn started are his legacy. In 2023 Rowyn received the Young Birder Award Birdwatchers Digest and Tucson Audubon. He received a small monetary prize which will be used to help keep his legacy going. The funds will ensure that the majority of our bird outings remain free of charge, allow us to purchase binoculars that can be borrowed during outings, and purchase resources to provide to particpants.
