Black birders are taking flight in L.A. Here’s how to join them.

For those who are interested in bird-watching, there are plenty of ways to get started.

Start with a local Instagram search for birding groups in your community. Use search terms like #birding and #birdwatching. Send a direct message to groups like Feminist Bird Club Los Angeles and Los Angeles Birders. Inquire about any upcoming events or predominantly Black bird-watching groups.
