[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT, Birding by ear

[Carol Osmar]

For anyone who is interested in learning bird songs by ear, you 
may enjoy seeing the news tonight.  A group of blind birders from 
Michigan was filmed at an event earlier this year and will be 
shown on the CBS Evening news Tonight.  I am involved with the 
group, but since I was still down south when this event happened, 
I was not able to be at this event.  Below you will find some 
additional info on it.

 It's finally happening! Donna almost was jumping out of her skin 
when she
called me - our spot on CBS will air tonight, so be sure to watch 
the 6:30
news! If you can think of anyone I missed with this message, 
please let
them know!



CBS filmed Donna Posont and our kids and adult friends doing a 
Birding By
Ear event in Dearborn in early April.  The event was cosponsored 
by Cornell
Lab of Ornithology, and it is with deep gratitude to Cornell that 
we are
excitedly posting this news! This is fabulous opportunity for 
children
with visual impairments and blindness to show off a special 
talent they have
to the whole country, and for Donna to have a spot of recognition 
for the
absolutely fabulous job she does teaching these kids about birds, 
their
environment and GETTING OUTSIDE!



We are so proud! Be sure to tune in tonight!
