Black Birders Week 2026
May 24–30, 2026
Now in its sixth year, Black Birders Week 2026, organized by Black AF In STEM, centers the theme "Flyways & Freedom: Advocacy, Action, and the Future" — turning our gaze to the horizon and the pathways that connect us all.
Black Birders Week is an annual celebration highlighting the intersection of birds, people, and environmental justice. The event uplifts Black birders, naturalists, scientists, and outdoor enthusiasts, and advocates for the inclusion, safety, and visibility of Black people in birding and outdoor spaces.
San Diego Bird Alliance proudly recognizes this week and encourages our community to follow along, engage, and show up in support. Stay tuned for local programming we're developing in collaboration with Black-led partners — and in the meantime, visit blackafinstem.com to explore resources and events from the organizers behind this important week.
