To the Editor:Re “Birds Show Us What It Means to Be Free,” by Christian Cooper (Opinion guest essay, May 28):I am a Central Park birder who has known Christian Cooper for many years.
Among birders Chris is a cherished member of our community.
He is known for his knowledge of birds, his ability not only to spot birds but also to identify bird song, as well as his generosity in sharing this knowledge with those of us less gifted than he is.
Thanks in good part to Chris, the world of birding is no longer an all-white activity.
Walk in the Ramble in the spring and you’ll meet Black, Hispanic and Asian birders as well as many young birders.
