A “one-in-a-million” genetic anomaly is turning the iconic crimson image of the Northern Cardinal on its head, replacing deep reds with stunning, vibrant yellow.

"Feed the Birds" is my absolute favorite bird themed song, What movie is it from? #blackinnature #blackbirdersweek #murmurationsofcolor @blackafinstem.bsky.social

I spotted these two fine feathered friends on my morning walk through my subdivision. This is usually where I spy with my brown eyes the sandhill crane.
#BlackInNature

Text Reads: “Right to Rest” challenges the historical and ongoing policing of Black bodies in nature. It asserts that relaxation, observation, and connection with the natural world are not privileges, but fundamental rights. Today, we honor the restorative power of birding as a meditative, healing practice that allows Black communities to reclaim our relationship with the land on our terms. Slowing down is sacred, and in community, we protect its power to renew us.

Today we welcome Day 4 of #BlackBirdersWeek! We claim our “Right to Rest" because peace in nature is not a privilege, but our birthright. Breathe deep, bird freely, and renew your spirit in community.

Text reads: Birds symbolize movement, migration, and breaking barriers, mirroring our experiences as Black birders as we navigate and thrive in environments where we have historically been excluded. "Flock to Freedom" aims to provide space for empowerment, self-expression, and connection to ancestral roots while challenging stereotypes about who belongs in nature. Join us as we reconnect online and in person to rise, soar, and flock to freedom.

Welcome! It’s Day 1 of #BlackBirdersWeek, “Flock to Freedom”. Introduce yourself & connect with other Black birders using #BlackInNature ✊🏽

#BlackInNature

A winding river flows through a scenic canyon with towering red rock cliffs on either side. Pine trees dot the landscape, and a dirt hiking trail follows the river’s curves. In the distance, snow-capped mountain are visible beneath a partly cloudy sky. — Smith Rock

“ I will be a hummingbird. I will do the best I can.”
~Wangari Muta Maathai

I finally got around to cleaning the hummingbird feeders and making hummingbird nectar aka sugar water.
#BlackInNature

I’ve been wondering where the Black birders were on this app and I think I may have found them. 🙂

I am primarily a backyard birder but I do occasionally dust off my binos to look for birds in my community, specifically I am always on the lookout for the sandhill crane.

#BlackInNature

Nature is for everyone! Yet, too often, outdoor spaces don’t reflect this. We're training people of colour as Nature Guides – leaders who inspire others to connect with nature.
