Mark your calendar for a truly special event—Blind Birder Bird-a-Thon 2025! Taking place all day on Sunday, May 18, this unique, accessible birding event is open to legally blind individuals of all ages and experience levels across the United States.

Whether you’re listening from your backyard, walking a familiar trail, or out with a sighted assistant, this Bird-a-Thon is all about celebrating the joy of birding by ear—and the power of inclusive, nature-connected communities.

You’ll have 24 hours (from 12:01 AM to midnight local time) to identify as many bird species as you can by sound or sight. No experience? No problem! This event is open to everyone and includes pre-recorded training sessions and a chance to meet others during a virtual info session.

Prizes, a post-event celebration, and a nationwide results showcase make this a can’t-miss moment in birding for accessibility and inclusion.
