Teamwork is the best way to win, and climate brains have teamed up with bird brains to help us get to victory.
There are many interesting connections in life. The Audubon Society has set up road rules to preserve the planet. This organization, which is dedicated to bird and habitat conservation, has come up with a new hope for mankind just in time.
Twitter is a society that celebrates tweeting tweeted thusly:
Audubon and Pattie Gonia, a drag queen and intersectional environmentalist, teamed up to #BirdsTellUs this #PrideMonth Song of the Meadowlark a message of hope for the future of our planet as we face climate change…
Audubon.org has more information:
For years, Audubon has reminded the world that by observing how climate change impacts birds, we can more clearly see how it has — and will — impact us. Every day, birds tell us that climate change is affecting the world through the songs they sing and those they have to stop singing due to global warming and habitat loss.
If you’re a climate-change denier, open your mind to the tune of two minutes and 13 seconds. Pattie is proudly plumed and takes to field, flying in the face environmental ignorance.
The songbird sings high
As for interpretation, it’s Sophie’s choice: The video imaginably intends to inspire, or it depicts an ecological disaster that transforms us all into meadowlark mutants. In any case, we must see substantial changes.
To that end, a bunch that’s bats for birds has hatched a #Prideful plan.
Bluebirds, the happy ones, fly beyond the rainbow
For those who have followed the drag community, it won’t come as a surprise that Audubon and Pattie are collaborating: Pattie Gonia, the drag persona of Wyn Wiley, is an environmentalist who uses her platform to highlight issues around climate change and inclusivity in the outdoors. Pattie is specifically aiming to empower more LGBTQ+ individuals to connect with the outdoors and nature. (It should come as no surprise that Wiley is also a committed environmentalist—he’s just not as over-the-top about it.)
“I’m genuinely so inspired by birds and together we could reach new audiences and queering the environmental space,” says Pattie when asked about why she wanted to partner with Audubon. “Collaboration is beautiful and rare. It takes so much time and energy, but so many new things are possible.”
Nick Mason, Audubon Email Market Manager, is excited to have the bird-lady onboard:
“Getting to hear about why Pattie does what Pattie does really touched me. There’s a long history of queer people inhabiting spaces that are hidden. These spaces are dark and hidden, in basements or clubs. They are wonderful, inviting spaces that we can come to own and claim and make a bright and shiny thing.”
But just after Pattie’s eaten, take cover when she flies: That bright and shiny thing might have enough weight to dent the roof of your car.

Pattie’s a participant in “Let’s Go Birding Together, a queer-inclusive birding program.” And that’s notable due to gays’ and lesbians’ clipped-wing past:
[M]any of the people involved in the planning and execution of the (music video and and accompanying photo) shoot are part of the LGBTQ+ community — a group of people who have not always been welcome in the outdoors.
Nick hails the beautiful wide open
“So to extend a hand [to queer people] and say ‘come outside with me’ is a collective invitation to really and truly come out. You know what I’m saying? That invitation is saying ‘I don’t want to restrict myself to spaces that are hidden. I want to be outside, with you.’”
Unfortunately, as they relish their long-sought freedom to finally gather in the great outdoors, we’ll all be incinerated in a fiery ball of death. Or at least that’s the forecast some climate crusaders have made.
But ’til then, bird lovers, drag-queen armchair ornithologists, transspecies environmentalists and even RedState readers, spread your wings and fly — to The Song of the Meadowlark.
The (brief?) future and beyond…
