A joyful trio stands together outdoors at the zoo during a Black Birders Week event. On the left, a smiling boy with binoculars around his neck wears a white event t-shirt. In the middle, a girl in a bright blue jacket with a zoo staff badge smiles with arms crossed. On the right, a man in a matching shirt and a “#birdjoy” hat grins, holding extra binoculars. Trees and zoo guests fill the background.
A man wearing a “#birdjoy” hat laughs joyfully next to a young girl bundled in a cozy lavender jacket. She has binoculars around her neck and looks off to the side. On the table beside them are several colorful kids’ binoculars, ready for birding fun.
A group of smiling people leans over a rope fence inside an indoor zoo exhibit. The man in the center wears a “#birdjoy” hat and holds a phone, appearing delighted. Around him, kids and adults, many with binoculars, enjoy the exhibit together.
A large, diverse group of people—kids and adults—pose together for a group photo in front of a colorful bird-themed mural. Many wear binoculars and Black Birders Week shirts. The energy is joyful and united under dappled sunlight and leafy trees.
Still flying high after our Black Birders Week event at Henry Vilas Zoo! 💫
From babies to elders, flamingo shows to wild bird walks, it was a day full of community, unity, and Bird Joy.

A large, diverse group of people—kids, adults, and elders—stand together outside in front of the Glacier Grille at the Henry Vilas Zoo. Most are looking through binoculars with smiles and joyful expressions. Some participants are in wheelchairs, and a few strollers are visible, reflecting a family-friendly, inclusive event. In the foreground are tables with t-shirts, gear, and empty chairs.
Can it be #BlackBirdersWeek again? WE OUT HERE! Photo by Hedi LaMarr Rudd #Blacksky 🪶🫶🏾

The most expensive T-shirt I own, but a friendly annual "birder tax" I'm happy to pay each year to remind me of #blackbirdersweek.

A group of young girls in #BlackBirdersWeek shirts chatting and smiling in front of an outdoor animal enclosure at the Henry Vilas Zoo. A monkey can be seen in the background on wooden platforms inside the enclosure.
Dozens of attendees gather under a large white tent for breakfast, forming a long buffet line filled with food trays. People are smiling and serving themselves while wearing event nametags and binoculars.
A large, diverse crowd stands outside near a stone building at the zoo, chatting and smiling. Many are wearing binoculars and Black Birders Week shirts, enjoying the sunny morning.
Dexter in a “birdjoy” cap and Black Birders Week shirt sits on a lion figure on the zoo carousel, playfully holding gray binoculars to his eyes. He’s smiling wide, radiating joy and fun.

Black Locust blossoms, in profusion, with a park in the background.
Did another breeding bird survey this morning to mark the final day of #BlackBirdersWeek. The woods were filled with locust blossoms, and many birds, including lots of fledglings.

Text Reads: Murmuratios of Color challenges the false notion that nature and conservation are monochromatic spaces. Today, we showcase how Black folks bring dynamic energy, creativity, and culturual richness to birding. We hope that by highlighting the variety of ways birds are present in Black culture, art, and media, we can celebrate our creativity and shift the narratie about who belongs in nature and birding. Murmurations of Color is a testament to the magic that happens when Black creativity and nature come together.
It’s Day 6 of #BlackBirdersWeek and we’re honoring “Murmurations of Color.” Today, we showcase how Black folks bring dynamic energy, creativity, and cultural richness to birding.

@blackafinstem.bsky.social #housesparrows are abundant at the elementary school where I work... so much so that I actually don't have a picture of them in my phone... shame on me, message received from the #blackbirdersweek meetup tonight: don't forget to also enjoy the common birds #belonging

Of all North America’s bird songs, few are as hauntingly beautiful, or as scientifically fascinating, as the White-throated Sparrow’s signature tune. This bird doesn’t just sing; it tells a story etched in ecology memory.

Big black birds are often disparaged. But Marcus Rosten, a co-organizer of #BlackBirdersWeek, appreciates them for the important roles they play in nature and the ways their stories reflect his own experience as a Black birder.

“Birds, Bonds, and Belonging” aims to cultivate spaces where Black birders see themselves reflected in the birds we admire, the plants in our yards, the companions at our side, and the growing tapestry of our collective story. This subtheme celebrates how birding is more than a hobby; for us, it's a bridge between our people and the land. Today, we highlight how birding can nurture connections to each other, the natural world, and our deep-rooted legacy and relationship to the land. Here, belonging isn't questioned; it's intentionally cultivated.
It’s Day 5 of #BlackBirdersWeek and we’re honoring “Birds, Bonds, & Belonging.” Today we celebrate how birding can nurture connections to each other, the natural world, and our deeply rooted legacy and relationship with the land.
