For over 126 years, Audubon’s Winter/Christmas Bird Count (CBC) has invited thousands of people across the western hemisphere to take part in one of the longest running community science efforts in the world. But community science only works when the whole community can participate. In this Birdability Outreach Program webinar, join us for a panel conversation exploring how people with disabilities and other health concerns can—and already do—take part in CBCs in ways that work for them.
From feeder watching and stationary birding to car birding and other accessible participation pathways, there are many ways to contribute meaningful data while enjoying the birds around us. Hear from Ben Haywood, Director of Community Science, and Hannah Partridge, Community Action Manager, from the National Audubon Society about how accessibility strengthens community science and the initiatives underway to make CBCs more inclusive. We'll also feature Birdability Captains and CBC leaders who are pioneering accessible count experiences in their communities, sharing practical strategies that are already expanding engagement opportunities. The panel will conclude with time for your questions and conversation.
Whether you're new to the CBC or a seasoned counter, this webinar will help you discover pathways to participate that work for you.
These webinars are open to everyone, whether you’re new to birding, an experienced birder with a disability, an advocate for accessible outdoor spaces, or just curious about our work. You can register for individual sessions or the entire series, and each event will feature opportunities to ask questions and connect with others in the community.
