Whether you’re a complete beginner or curious about how to start birding, this session will introduce you to the basics of identifying birds, understanding their behaviors, and using simple tools like binoculars and field guides. You’ll also learn about how to enjoy birding in ways that work for you, no matter your level of experience or ability.

About the presenter:
Through education, outreach and advocacy, Birdability works to ensure the birding community and the outdoors are welcoming, inclusive, safe and accessible for everybody. They focus on people with mobility challenges, blindness or low vision, chronic illness, intellectual or developmental disabilities, mental illness, and those who are neurodivergent, deaf or hard of hearing or who have other health concerns. In addition to current birders, they strive to introduce birding to people with disabilities and other health concerns who are not yet birders so they too can experience the joys of birding.
