One morning in May 2020, while engaged in his lifelong birdwatching ritual, a seemingly routine encounter with a dog walker erupted into a confrontation that highlighted deep-seated racial tensions. Cooper's viral video of the incident sent shock waves through the nation.
In "Better Living Through Birding," Cooper shares the story of his extraordinary life leading up to the now-infamous Central Park incident. He reveals how decades of birdwatching uniquely prepared him to navigate life as a gay, Black man in America. From honing senses that are just as effective at protests as they are in parks, to learning lessons of self-acceptance from birds like the Common Grackle, Cooper's book celebrates the joys of connecting with the natural world and invites readers to explore these pleasures for themselves.
