Black Birders Week Kickoff

Join us for an afternoon walk as we kickoff Black Birders Week 2025! We will start at the playground in Wheeler Park, located in a historically Black neighborhood and named after Ann Arbor's first Black mayor, Albert Wheeler.

We will walk around the park to learn some of the history of the park and then head to the underground walkway to Argo Park. Everyone and all ages are welcome. Bring binoculars if you have them. We will have extra pairs if you need some.

Directions: Meet at Wheeler Park playground, 200 Depot Street, Ann Arbor

Leader: Victor Chen

All are welcome and encouraged to join us. New to birding? Bird curious? No binoculars? No problem! There is no better way to learn than to get out in the field with experienced birders that love to help. Plus, you get to meet awesome people. Absolutely everyone is welcome and encouraged to come out. We will have many pairs of quality binoculars on hand for anyone to use.
