Birding
Birding For All
There is more to birdwatching than meets the eye or ear. Although historically birding was seen as competitive, requiring lots of walking & standing and was checklist driven, today it takes on a much more expansive and inclusive meaning. Birding is an activity that is accessible to all, and you don’t have to be an “expert” to enjoy it.
WHY Birding
- It’s a fun, rewarding activity that can be done at a park, in one’s neighborhood or backyard, from your vehicle, and on an electronic device
- It can easily be made accessible to people with disabilities
- It’s a healthy activity for the entire family
- You can gain an appreciation for the natural world
- Birding reduces stress
