A very belated thanks to Whitney Neufeld-Kaiser for bringing out attention to how some birding communities have responded to posts and conversations re: Black Birders' Week, Birding While Black, etc. (her original post was a few weeks ago).

Here's yesterday's segment on KUOW about the subject--a good, fair-minded overview of recent events and conversations. It also mentions of some of the groups and individuals that explicitly aim to make birding communities more inclusive and open to discussion, rather than shutting down conversations:
