#BlackBirdersWeek is happening now through May 31! This year’s theme “Grounded in Community” has a focus on the sparrow family, an often-overlooked bird that represents resilience, connection, and the power of belonging. Like sparrows, Black communities deserve to be seen, heard, and honored—not just in birding spaces, but in every space - where everyone feels welcome.
