Re: [Maine-birds] About equitable birding

Thanks for this Craig and Kristen!  Great to know how rich the Black American birding community is and to see the goings-on for this inaugural Black Birders Week!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Craig! I'll just add that if you're on Twitter and follow the hashtag #BlackBirdersWeek, you can enjoy/support some wonderful posts being shared by birders of color and raise your awareness of what it's like for them to participate in an outdoor activity like birding--something most of us simply take for granted.

Hi all - This isn't a report of a sighting. 

I just want to share the #BlackBirdersWeek event that is happening currently, because it had not been on my radar and because our current events demand that we pay attention to all of our fellow birders with new urgency and commitment.

Here's a link to get you going, if interested. It's called #BlackBirdersWeek Takes On Systemic Racism, and this article comes from High Country News.

Best,

Craig K
