Virtual — please register at the link below. Free.
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, uplifting Black birders, naturalists, scientists, and outdoor enthusiasts, and advocating for the inclusion, safety, and visibility of Black people in birding and outdoor spaces.
This program is organized and led by Bird Note. San Diego Bird Alliance is sharing this event as a community resource to amplify Black-led programming during Black Birders Week.
This program is [led / co-led] by Jayshaun Talbert, fisheries and wildlife conservation student; Susanna Hermanns, environmental educator; Nia Williams, educator and organizer; and moderated by Nicole Jackson.
Join BirdNote and BlackAFinSTEM on Tuesday, May 26th at 9am PT / 12pm ET for a special Black Birders Week Virtual Event.
Every bird has a journey, and so do the people who help protect them.
Join BirdNote and Black AF in STEM for a special conversation with passionate volunteers who will share what it looks like to show up for birds. From dimming city lights during migration to monitoring nests and tracking seasonal movements, these conservationists are making a real impact, and in this talk, they’ll dive deep into how you can, too.
