Here are two episodes of the Always Be Birdin’ podcast that are full of the current enthusiasm and excitement among BIPOC birders. The importance of BIPOC-only spaces in birding is discussed, along with many other issues.
Chicago birders and places figure prominently. CAS is proud to say that the relationships which launched Chicago’s BIPOC Birding Network were made in our spring Birdwalk Leader Training. (Special shoutout to Antonio Flores for his work to make the training such a welcoming space.) Daniela Herrera and Candace Williams are the Chicago birders offering thoughtful reflections in these two podcasts.
