During the annual World Series of Birding, teams compete to see who can identify the most bird species in 24 hours. For 'Team Galbatross’ the goal is different (and much harder): they only identify female birds. This self-imposed restriction is a form of activism, calling into question centuries of ornithology that has focused primarily on male birds, with their bright plumage, elaborate dances, and loud songs. ‘Birding the Gender Gap’ explores how the study of female birds is reshaping our understanding of nature and why this new knowledge is crucial for conservation.
