ADK Black Birders Event 2026

The Adirondack Diversity Initiative & John Brown Lives! along with the NYS Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, are excited to host our second annual Black Birders Week event for the Adirondack region,

Mama Piping Plover on her nest, today, at the Plover Project and Black Birders walk at the Arverne East Nature Preserve (Far Rockaway). Also, another Plover crossing the Boardwalk and a Least Tern. Both species are considered endangered.

Arverne East is a new 30+ acre preserve, administered by the NYC Parks Department and assisted by the Littoral Society, running from Beach 44th St. to Beach 56th St. on the beach side of the Rockaways. Although I didn't take many pictures, on today's visit I counted 24 bird species (most in the brushy "maritime woodland area") and 2 marine mammals, a Humpbacked Whale (I didn't see this one) and a Bottlenose Dolphin (or 2).

Looking to boost as many #BlackInSTEM – or really BIPOC folks in any field – as I can here. I'm very much missing those connections from the other site and worried about people who were just finding a voice having their silenced.

#BlackBirders especially!

I'm trying to fill out my following list with more science folks, but i realized I'm missing a lot of the diversity from the bird site. I'd love to see and boost more diverse perspectives.
