Join the Global Blind Birder Bird-a-Thon 2026, a birding event during which birders try to see or hear as many bird species as possible.
* The Bird-a-Thon’s goal is to encourage blind and partially sighted birders of any age, experience, or location to go outdoors and listen for bird songs and sounds.
* This birding event is specifically designed for blind and low vision birders and others with disabilities to enjoy birds during a guided outing.
* No previous birding experience needed.
* Walk one mile on the All Persons Trail (Universally Accessible trail). The trails and boardwalk traverse meadows and wetlands, home to birds, butterflies, and plants on crushed stone path and boardwalk.
