Citizen science data has rapidly gained influence in urban ecology and conservation planning, but with limited understanding of how such data reflects social, economic, and political conditions and legacies. We introduce a bottom-up initiative of collecting biodiversity information using an environmental justice lens. Plainly, ecology for community using biology, computers, and music. We employ artificial intelligence to identify birds based on their calls and use these calls to create musical compositions in an educational setting. This interdisciplinary approach allows participants to learn about ecology, computer science, and music, fostering a sense of place and environmental stewardship by document urban birds.
