Despite having to deal with the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, the event’s co-founder Tykee James said it meant a lot to him to launch in 2020, according to Delaware Online
“We showed that the Black experience goes beyond trauma. The Black experience includes joy, pride, strength, resilience and style. Every day in Black Birders Week was a day to advance that narrative,” James, government affairs coordinator for National Audubon Society, said.
The Philadelphia native expressed that the weeklong celebration is necessary because the birding community is “disconnected and decentralized,” adding that people want to build a sense of community again.
