Black Birders Week Celebration: Birds & Bites

Celebrate #BlackBirdersWeek at Randall’s Island Park with a day of bird-themed fun and activities! #BlackBirdersWeek is an initiative by Black AF in Stem which uplifts birders and scientists within the Black community. Join renowned local birders for a guided walk through the park and learn about the birds that make their home on the Island.

A limited number of binoculars will be available to borrow on a first-come, first-served basis. This year, we are offering two routes, both starting at Icahn Stadium and concluding at our Living Shoreline.

• Family Friendly Route: 1.5 miles winding through our Little Hell Gate Salt Marsh

• Advanced Route: 3 miles through our Little Hell Gate Salt Marsh and up along the Bronx Shore

After the walks, join us for a community celebration with music, games, and bites from a local business at our Living Shoreline! Black-identifying community members are highly encouraged to attend; all allies welcome.

This event has two components, and participants are welcome to attend one or both:

10 – 11:30am @Icahn Stadium: Bird walks

11:30am-1pm @the Living Shoreline: Food, music, lawn games

Black-identifying community members are highly encouraged to attend, all allies welcome.

Registration is recommended, but not required.
