Self-identified "Black gay activist birder" Christian Cooper has long been a figure in the New York City birding community, but he became known to the larger population after the so-called 2020 "incident" in Central Park in which a white woman threatened to call the police on him. In his new book, Better Living Through Birding, he writes about the experience, but he also shares how he fell in love with birding in the first place and how racial justice fits in with his love of the natural world. He joins us to discuss and also talk about his new series on National Geographic, "Extraordinary Birder with Christian Cooper."
