A group of eight people sit in a long rowing shell on calm water, holding oars in position. They appear relaxed and smiling, as if pausing between strokes. In the background, several sailboats are anchored near a tree-lined shore.

Birdability: Blind Birder Bird-a-Thon 2026
A Bird-a-Thon is a birding event during which birders try to see or hear as many bird species as possible during a set period of time, in this case, a 24-hour period within two days in May. The goal of the 2nd Annual Global Blind Birder Bird-a-Thon is to encourage blind and partially sighted birders of any age, experience, or location to head outdoors, tune in, and celebrate the sounds and songs that make birding such a powerful practice of connection.
