Freedom Birding with Tykee James

Our recent exploration into birds continues in this conversation with educator, activist, and avid birder Tykee James. James is cultivating connections among diverse individuals and communities through love of birds and leading us into conversations about freedom and justice along the way. Following the example and inspiration of the Freedom Riders, he’s our guide on the Freedom Birding bus, encouraging consideration of social history, natural history, and land use as we come together in outdoor spaces to appreciate birds. Learn how Freedom Birding expands traditional ideas about birding. Hear why James, who’s employed by the National Audubon Society, feels he wouldn’t see eye to eye with John James Audubon if he were alive today.
