Ô¼ÅÚÊÓƵ

For many of us in the Asian Pacific American community, the idea of going out into nature to look at birds is a foreign concept. As many of my friends and family members would say, it is something that ‘white people’ do. Here at Ô¼ÅÚÊÓƵ, we are helping to change that perspective and make the world of birding more diverse and inclusive.  

This past weekend, Ô¼ÅÚÊÓƵ California collaborated with , and to host a bird walk in celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. We had 17 participants join us at Eaton Canyon in Pasadena, many of them birding for the first time in their lives. We saw a total of 34 species. Big thanks to Grace Wong of Pasadena Ô¼ÅÚÊÓƵ Society for leading our group.
