Listen "How to Be a More Ethical Birder"
Episode Synopsis
Since her bird journey began, Tenijah’s been learning how to be a better birder —but not just with new birding skills. There’s also the important lesson of how to be an “ethical birder” or treating the birds with respect. Tenijah talks to writer Martha Harbison about “the rules” of birding and how we can be more thoughtful to our feathered friends. But these rules can also be twisted and weaponized against birders from marginalized backgrounds, so she talks to photographer David Lei about how to make sure we’re also being thoughtful to our fellow birders.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?
