Georgia Audubon is partnering with Birdability to host virtual field trips highlighting accessible trails, birders who experience accessibility challenges, and birds from around the country! These events occur one Saturday a month at 10am Eastern.
On Saturday, March 13th at 10am Eastern Time, we will be birding and exploring trails with the following guests:
Michael Hurben, a global birder who has a goal of seeing or hearing half the world's bird species (5,400!) despite being legally blind as a result of Retinitis Pigmentosa. He blogs at legallyblindbirding.net and wrote a guest blog for the Birdability Blog about his experiences. (Read it here.) He will be birding in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Cassandra Dean, Birdability Captain for Nebraska, who has fibromyalgia and Raynaud’s disease (both autoimmune diseases), and will be birding at Spring Creek Prairie Audubon Center near Lincoln, Nebraska.
Virginia Rose, Birdability Founder and President, who uses a manual wheelchair as a result of a spinal cord injury. She will be birding at Richard Moya Park in Austin, Texas.
Corina Newsome, Community Engagement Manager for Georgia Audubon. She will be birding in Atlanta, Georgia.

These events will occur monthly, so stay tuned to learn about more accessible trails around the country with more birders who experience accessibility challenges!
