Birdability Week 2021 is October 18-24, and we are joining in the week’s activities by hosting one of our regular Birding by Ear meet ups!
Registration is open Oct. 4-14 to past Birding by Ear class participants, taught by Madison Audubon and the Wisconsin Council of the Blind and Visually Impaired. Any remaining spots opens to the public on October 15.
Train yourself to listen for the birds rather than looking for them! Birding by Ear is a great way to practice your skills at bird ID using a totally different sense. Join leader Kerry Wilcox (volunteer and teacher of last spring’s Birding by Ear class) for a trip to Picnic Point, where you will walk the wide, flat paths and learn tools, tips, and techniques for birding by ear.
Leave the binoculars at home, and come prepared to use your ears rather than your eyes! This event is hosted in partnership with the Wisconsin Council of the Blind and Visually Impaired.
