We are so grateful and excited to welcome Tykee James all the way from Colorado. Tykee was recently featured in a groundbreaking new documentary called "Bird Names," where the question is asked: Why do birds still carry the names of people who "discovered" them? What is a bird-centric name? What colonial, racist, and sexist legacies do these names hold and promote? Following the screening of the documentary "Bird Names," we will go forward with our new knowledge and questions and enjoy a day of birding together.
