The Raven LunaChicks are excited to participate in their 5th World Series of Birding (WSB) in New Jersey on Saturday, May 9, 2026!
Now in its 43rd year, the New Jersey Audubon WSB is the longest-running bird competition and fundraiser in the U.S., engaging hundreds of youth and adults of all experience levels in one big day of birding for conservation.
On the heels of a 2nd place win in the full-state category in 2025, the team will compete this year in the LGA (Limited Geographic Area) category, focusing on finding as many bird species as possible in Gloucester county in 24 hours.
The Raven LunaChicks are an all-women team – Linda Widdop (captain), Debbie Beer, Patty Rehn, and Lori Gladulich – dedicated to birding hard and having a blast while supporting avian conservation.
Our WSB fundraising efforts support the DVOC, and all donations are greatly appreciated. To donate, click on this link: https://dvoc.org/about/donating-to-the-dvoc/ and scroll down to choose ‘Donate to Bird Safe Philly’ or ‘Donate to Interns Fund.’ Indicate “WSB Raven LunaChicks” in the comments.

Thank you, and happy spring birding!
