BirdsCaribbean Buffs (Face Masks) Available for Sale

Lisa Sorenson wearing our BirdsCaribbean buff as a face mask. The long stretchy tubular fabric has been folded back on itself twice to form a triple layer.

We’ve got you covered! The CDC and local governments recommend wearing a face mask when you go out, and even cloth/ home-made masks are helpful. Our BirdsCaribbean and Caribbean Birding Trail multi-purpose “buffs” work well for this.

We have two patterns available for sale: BirdsCaribbean logo and Caribbean Birding Trail logo (see photo to the right and in the gallery below). Get one of each so that you can wear on alternate days and wash them.

Many of our members have long worn our “buffs”—stylish tubular bandannas which can be worn in multiple ways. They are great as neck warmers, head bands, hair bands, caps, for mosquito protection in the field, and now as face masks.

If you would like to purchase one or more of our buffs, please use the links below. Apologies, but we are only able to ship to U.S. addresses right now. Limit of 6 per order.

To Use as a Face Mask:

Turn the buff inside out, then fold back it back either once or twice so that you have a double or triple layer of fabric for your mask. You are now ready to face the world with a comfortable and stylish mask! Stay safe!!!

Cute couple! Jessica and Maydiel Canizares ventured out last weekend to look for PIPLs (Piping Plovers, not people, LOL). They were delighted to find 2 birds on the beach. Their buffs provided protection from the elements and kept others safe from them.

BirdsCaribbean supporter Judi O’Connor advised that it is important to “SMIZE” when you take your buff photo. SMIZE = SMile with your Eyes. Beautiful smile Judi!
