For their HawkWatch International collection photoshoot, @birdcollective worked with two New York City denizens who thrive on outdoor culture: Mikey and Eyeris. Together they started @outsideclothesnyc , an Instagram-based collection of stories about New Yorkers who love being outside. Their work reveals the beautiful collision of urban and natural environments, and the sometimes simple and often ingenious ways people inhabit them. Outside Clothes also serves as an informational hub for outside activities going on in cities. “the culture belongs the people”, “you want to learn about your neighborhood? go to the park”, we need to have public gathering spaces for people to relax, create, co-exist, they all have something to offer…” - Outside Clothes. #dapperQ #blackbirdersweek #blackbirders #queerbirders #birding https://www.instagram.com/p/CWmWPQgOT_9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Farm friends its@Black Birders Week. I’m @orbgtennis a birder and decidedly reshare some clips of bird songs heard here on the farm. I hope you’re watching birds and helping to keep their environment healthy. “Black Birders Week and the new Twitter group have three main goals, says Newsome. The first is “to counter the narrative that the outdoors are not the place Black people should be,” she says. What happened to Christian Cooper in Central Park could easily deter a young Black person interested in natural science and conservation from pursing those interests, she says. Nature and the outdoors have historically been depicted as majority white spaces. By demonstrating that Black people enjoy these spaces too, Newsome and her collaborators hope to encourage emerging birders and scientists to pursue their passions.” #blackbirdersweek #blackbirdersweek2021 #blackbirders #birder #birdersofinstagram #birdwatching #backyardbirds #backyardbirdwatching #backyardbirdsofinstagram #birdfeeder #birdhouse #birdbath #birdcount #nationalaudubonsociety #birdsanctuary #nationalbirdcount #avian #birdnests #birdsightings #gullahgeechee #gullah #sclowcountry #birdingphotography (at Morning Glory Homestead) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPo1SNGhtnC/?utm_medium=tumblr
