Christian Cooper and Amy Tan have both found a deep connection to birding, despite their different journeys. Cooper discovered birding as a child, well before the incident in Central Park that thrust him into the national spotlight. Tan, on the other hand, turned to birding as a recent respite from political events.
For both Cooper and Tan, birding has served as a powerful source of solace and community. In an upcoming live discussion on
Thursday, June 22 at 1 p.m. Eastern, Cooper, author of “Better Living Through Birding,” and Tan, author of the forthcoming book “The Backyard Bird Chronicles,” will delve into the transformative power of birding and the unique challenges faced by people of color in a predominantly white hobby. Leading the conversation will be Dodai Stewart, a birding enthusiast and Metro writer for The New York Times.
We will also introduce you to The New York Times summer birding project, which offers the opportunity to start birding. Thousands of individuals have already signed up to learn more about birds and assist scientists in collecting birding data during the summer season, when fewer observations are typically recorded. Alan Burdick, an editor on The Times’ science desk, will interview Jenna Curtis from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to shed light on the significance of gathering this data. Additionally, you’ll receive tips from experienced birders.
