There is one event in Westland on May 3, and the rest of the events are on
May 4. I believe there was a flyer sent out with all of the information on
it; maybe you can check the archives for this list if you don’t have it in
your email somewhere.

Image description: A photo from the Washington Post coverage of the 2025 Blind Birder Bird-a-Thon featuring Maitreya Shah at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, with his arm in the air holding a phone using the Merlin Bird ID app to identify the bird species singing and calling around him. From the story. "Maitreya Shah heard the bird’s distinctive chirp in a nearby tree at a botanical garden in the Maryland suburbs. But he’s blind and couldn’t see it. With his arm stretched upward, he held his iPhone up to try to capture the sound as an app identified the bird. “It’s a cedar waxwing,” the 27-year-old told his fellow blind birders as they walked on a paved path surrounded by grass and flowers at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, Maryland."

Dear friends,

﻿

On May 3rd and 4th of this year, birders who are blind or have low vision will head outside and listen from backyards and balconies, from parks and accessible trails. They will tune into the birds around them and share that experience with a growing community spurred into existence by a trio of blind birders eager to help redefine birding to include all ways of experiencing the joy of wild birds.

 

This is the  <https://swn6onfbb.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017VIBFR0qyijfGnEMU0nn7iNhFOAvyyACEsO5Vdow5O5zzf6yj4Nfwp4d8v3TicDh7_cXTlhaKjKy0hrkchhbXiTmYW-cr4RQgDqGg5KTzqGJ7LP8eSmH9wmS12k3aCNCimOhpyocZtBMle6QQUZVfj-iJiY8Ee4nRcHW7w8FSppPwiVq7IQKSQ==&c=nSGQ2RDUhseF5w54Wt_VIfQi5M4TgLNbqJmY-WztDST6EaF87aM-3Q==&ch=AUMx5l7A-_U4RcIoVIwpQv2TRrTdKBW41kzVBpNr_KgRMvDFQ8miiQ==> 2nd Annual Blind Birder Bird-a-Thon. It was created by and for blind and low-vision birders, and it reflects the many ways that folks who are blind or low-vision experience nature and birds. 

Last year and throughout this community, participants have shared what this experience makes possible. Some of the ways that organizers and participants described the experience last year include:

 

“Birding is such a feast for the remaining senses…”

 

“I always tell people, try not to think that I get less joy from birding than you do, just because I can't see them…”

 

“The more one blind person felt like they could do something, the more that encouraged another…”

 

"I don't even have the words - I am in awe to think that I can take part in birding. This was very motivating to those of us who thought blindness was the end of life and hobbies like this."

 

This is what your support makes possible.

 

Certainly an event, but also a space where people can show up as they are and help shape what birding can be. All of us together, creating a space where community forms through sound and time spent together, realizing how much we have in common across our differences.

 

At Birdability, we build this work alongside the community. The Bird-a-Thon is one part of a greater effort that includes resources, gatherings, and ongoing support for birders who have often been left out of outdoor spaces.

 

We are a small nonprofit, and this work depends on people who believe in it and choose to support it.

 

As we head into this year’s Bird-a-Thon, I am asking you to help sustain and grow this work.

 

A gift today helps us

• support participants with tools and connections before and after the event

• hold community spaces where people can share knowledge and build relationships

• expand accessible birding opportunities so more people can find their place in it

 

If you have been following this work, or if these stories resonate with you, I hope you will consider making a gift today because every single dollar matters and every birder belongs.

﻿

Thank you for helping us make birding for every body.

2nd Annual Global Blind Birder Bird-a-Thon

May 3 and 4, 2026

 

Help us spread the word about the 2nd Annual Global Blind Birder Bird-a-Thon, a 24-hour birding celebration designed with and for birders who are blind and have low vision.

 

This global event centers birding by ear, community connections, and the understanding that birding is for every body and every mind.

 


What is the Blind Birder Bird-a-Thon?


 

Participants who are blind or have low vision can bird anywhere in the world during a 24-hour window on May 3 or 4, 2026. Birding can take place in a backyard, park, balcony, accessible trail, or wherever listening to birds is possible.

 

Participants count the species they detect by sound or sight and report them to the Bird-a-Thon Compiler. There is no cost to participate. The focus is community, awareness, and access.

 

Full details and registration are available at  <https://swn6onfbb.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001jWc-hVBAJ6yOaA5gssEwrR28zDCobyVgARXejIByTBv1XiAjn9pfQzckslDaoaDYn146SLCaxVVkW8abdi_LIw9whd6jjq0oRT6bvpnZIn6Rl_88tpd8XHyI4RmnZD9rb3CIYtUepeTnpUGIEVf3SMteBbRi_X3kcxreqwG0GaHzBf-s9XFR_g==&c=IJ7bt5hxW4FooyK-lrijE61eEv68KjeRR_Mg1ovjfPv9gw6t-YeK8g==&ch=udV9GcuxhaG4h6EhC0bjBpJEiZ05elG4sUrLNI37sloKQTMrEwq4kg==> https://www.birdability.org/blind-birdathon 

 


How Individuals Can Participate


*    Birders who are blind or have low vision, and of any age and experience level, are invited to join. You can participate as an individual or as part of a team. You may bird alone, with friends, or with sighted volunteers.

*    Choose May 3 or May 4 and bird for as much of that 24-hour period as works for you. You can spread your birding time throughout the day or focus it all at once.

*    Bird anywhere that feels accessible and joyful. This might be your backyard, a favorite local park, an accessible trail, a balcony, a pond nearby, or a neighborhood sidewalk.

*    Count every species you detect by sound or sight during your 24-hour window. Use the tools that support you best, such as  <https://swn6onfbb.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001jWc-hVBAJ6yOaA5gssEwrR28zDCobyVgARXejIByTBv1XiAjn9pfQ-7FtH7Rl16bExnGx732n-blgb0tXapvZntuW4YB9LrWCRl_QVW8DROyxd_H7VLX0TR9iOmacNhqPqjmMbB3eEeTYD9Q4GZIRPZRtQTutbVBNegH87OQzPcgCNBZjzLziBJnTD9PAzncP-SBItQo4c136iu7LPtqhrFl1zM2b9ViOptp-5-TsRavi9mgGUTNbsNbdwXrf7i0OhMdVbJgHwxIKmAC532mIXyLoXNJBeps&c=IJ7bt5hxW4FooyK-lrijE61eEv68KjeRR_Mg1ovjfPv9gw6t-YeK8g==&ch=udV9GcuxhaG4h6EhC0bjBpJEiZ05elG4sUrLNI37sloKQTMrEwq4kg==> Merlin Bird ID, recording devices, binoculars, guidebooks, or simply listening.

After the event, submit your species list to the Bird-a-Thon Compiler so your birds can be included in the global total.

Blind Birder Bird-a-Thon Community Conversations: Register and Join Us!


 

How do birds travel thousands of miles across continents and oceans? And how do they know where to go? 

 

Join us on March 10 at 7:00 PM Eastern Time for “Living on the Wind: How and Why Birds Migrate” with Scott Weidensaul.

 

This special event is part of our Blind Birder Bird-a-Thon Community Conversations Series and is free and open to all.

 

Migration is one of the great wonders of the natural world. For many of us, especially those who bird by ear, migration is something we experience as sound.

Your gift in any amount helps us create accessible resources, build community, and ensure that blind and low vision birders are centered and celebrated!

Hopefully, lots of you are making plans to attend our upcoming national
convention in Austin. It is not too late to register or get a hotel room or
arrange transportation or to apply for financial assistance from National
Federation of the Blind of Michigan. Financial assistance  applications are
available at NFBMI.org and they are due back by May 15, 2026. If you are
attending national convention I hope you will consider serving at the
Independence Market for a few hours during your convention week. This would
be a great help to the market process for both staff and your fellow
convention participants to help them have a smooth and enjoyable experience
while brousing and shopping. If you wish to help in the market please let me
know so that I can turn your name in and you will be contacted about your
hours of service.

Thanks and blessings,

Donna Posont

Subject: [NFBMI-Wayne-County] Help make Detroit Symphony Orchestra
 accessible.
Message-ID: 
 <CALmOBK=4mG=5ok4WF=CoJzhs9=G4aupP6ezKb5b8-YYdhre9aw@mail.gmail.com>

Good morning Federation family,
I want to make you aware of an event at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra on
May 14th. They're wanting our advice on how to make their performances
accessible for all, and they would appreciate our feedback on improving
things for blind people. For instance this is a fireworks show performed by
the orchestra and pyrotechnics, and they want to know from our perspective
what we're missing; we'll have the opportunity to go backstage and talk
with everyone, and hopefully we'll get them a better picture of our issues
in appreciating say a fireworks display. This should be a very interesting
time and enlightening for them. We will be meeting at 9:00 am for a
rehearsal experience to participate and let them know what accomidations
they can make for us going forward. The whole experience will last about 4
hours, with the possability of going for lunch afterward if there's enough
folks interested. The address is:3711 Woodword Avenue Detroit 48201. If
your interested get in touch with me at samdrau at gmail.com and if there's
enough interest we can perhaps organize transportation... I'm not sure how
we'll accomplish that but if you’re truly interested I'm sure we'll find a
way. Thanks; hope to see you there.
