J. Drew Lanham believes that ?conserving birds and their habitat [is] a moral mission that needs the
broadest and most diverse audience possible to be successful." He's a professor of wildlife ecology
in the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences at Clemson University in South Carolina, as
well as a published poet, naturalist, hunter, and birder. He's aware that this last specialty? birder? isn't
something people expect a black man to be, and after seeing what was going on in the news, he
wrote "9 Rules for the BlackBirdwatcher," a satirical essay adapted to film by BirdNote.
