This week’s challenge for new birders: Try joining a group for an outing, or go birding with at least one new person. And if you’re already part of a birding community, tell us about it. Did you meet friends — or even your spouse — through birding? In early 2020, as Black Lives Matter protests were taking place worldwide and the pandemic was beginning to unfold, Ollie Olanipekun and Nadeem Perera founded Flock Together, a group for birders of color in Britain. “I go to these remote towns where there’s no people of color, there’s no diversity,” Mr. Olanipekun, 38, said.
