This ten-day long bird festival is held in northwest Ohio to coincide with huge amounts of migrating spring warblers who stop over on the US-side of Lake Erie. There they fatten up and give themselves a pep talk, before launching over the huge, unknown body of water (which has nowhere to land! Scary! ) on their way to their breeding grounds.
Birdability founder Virginia Rose, and Birdability’s Director of Programs and Outreach Freya McGregor will be…
Co-leading four intentionally inclusive and accessible bird outings from 10-12pm on May 7, 8, 10 and 11 (one will be a stationary “birding by butt” event).
Giving a spotlight presentation on Monday May 9 about using birding as empowerment, and easy actions birders can take to be more welcoming and inclusive… of disabled birders, and of everybody else, too!
At the Birdability booth at the Birders Marketplace at Maumee Bay Lodge, everyday from Friday May 6 - Tuesday May 10, from 3-8pm (except when we’re doing our presentation!).
