Blind Birder Bird-A-Thon

Please join us for a program in support of the National Blind Birders Bird-A-Thon!

The Blind Birder Bird-a-Thon is a 24-hour birding event designed for birders who are legally blind. This inaugural event encourages participants to identify as many bird species as possible by sound (or sight!), celebrating accessibility and the joy of birding.

Our field trip will be led by birdsong expert Rick Keyser and is open to everyone - visually impaired or fully sighted, new to birding or experienced. Our goal is to foster community, increase participation in birding for people who are legally blind, and embrace birding by ear for everyone.

If attending, please remember that 'silence is golden' as this program will lean heavily into listening for the birds. Please remember to keep chatter to a minimum, as any noise can be very distracting for people who are focusing on bird sounds.

We will be travelling at a slow pace along an ADA-accessible fully paved trail. There are no restrooms available on site.
