These young Black naturalists -- and the birds they love -- are some of the stars of Black Birders Week, a series of events and activities designed to highlight Black scientists, scholars and everyday nature lovers. While spreading their joy and knowledge, the countless people involved in the movement are also raising visibility of Black achievement at a painfully critical time.


quote:

But when Christian Cooper, a Black birder in New York City, was threatened by a white woman in Central Park, their focus turned to the avian-minded among them.


quote:

Within days, a group of #BlackAFinSTEM organizers had come up with a whole week's worth of ways to support and encourage the Black birding community.

"People assume just because we're Black, we don't like the outdoors," he says. "People don't talk about the buffalo soldiers who were among the first to care for national parks. They don't talk about Black ranchers."

He's excited to have that, what appears to be, Hairy Woodpecker in a proper birder's grip for a photo.

It's a pretty awesome picture, in my opinion.

I was sitting on the back porch the other day and decided I should buy a book to help identify the birds. It's the most elderly thought I've ever had. All downhill from here.

It looks like they're up to no good with those birds.

Anyone else noticed that black is now capitalized everywhere? Would people lose their shite if I started capitalizing White?

At first glance your observation appears to be correct, but without closer evaluation, one can not rule out the Red-cockaded woodpecker.

Had a Northern Flicker rustling up the back yard one morning last week. Pleasantly fun to watch!

Yes, one can with a number of features:

1. The amount of red on head. (More than a RCW.)
2. The amount of black on head. (More than a RCW.)
3. The amount of white on head. (Less than a RCW.)
4. The white back. (RCW's have the barred/ladder back rather than plain white.)

It may not be a Hairy, but it's certainly not a RCW.
