But in the words of today\u2019s guest, Corina Newsome, it\u2019s like a treasure hunt. There is exhilaration in looking for movement through binoculars or listening for specific bird calls. There&#8217;s also a sense of achievement that comes with identifying a specific bird and crossing it off your list. Corina isn\u2019t your stereotypical birder. She\u2019s a 27 year old Black woman from Philadelphia with a Master\u2019s degree in Ornithology (the study of birds). Corina was one of the primary organizers behind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.audubon.org\/news\/black-birders-week-promotes-diversity-and-takes-racism-outdoors\">Black Birders Week<\/a>, a virtual event that took place in summer of 2020. In this episode, Corina tells us about how she fell in love with birds, the circumstances that inspired Black Birders Week and what it\u2019s like being a Black woman in the outdoors. <a href=\"\/blog\/news\/this-wildlife-conservationist-is-helping-more-birders-find-their-place-outside\">Read more<\/a> about how she&#8217;s helping more birders find their place in the outdoors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Connect with Corina:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/corinanewsome.wixsite.com\/hoodnaturalist\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Website<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hood_naturalist\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hood__naturalist\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Resources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/blackafinstem\/?hl=en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black AF in STEM<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiaaudubon.org\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Georgia Audubon<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.audubon.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Audubon Society<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/merlin.allaboutbirds.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Merlin Bird ID App<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.audubon.org\/app\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Audubon App<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Episode Sponsor:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danner.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Danner<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transcript When you think of exciting outdoor activities, bird watching probably isn\u2019t the first thing that comes to mind.
