According to a 2022 U.S. Fish and Wildlife survey, almost 40% of all Americans engaged in birding, making observing those dinosaur descendants among the most popular outdoor activities in the nation.  That popularity extends across all racial, ethnic, gender and age groups.  Historically, however, people with mobility, visual, or auditory disabilities have largely been excluded from traditional birdwatching.  That’s starting to change, however, as more and more parks, nature groups and others offer more accessible opportunities to observe and learn about our feathered friends.  To kick off 2025 Birdability week on October 20, the Monday Buzz was joined by Cat Fribley, Executive Director of Birdability and Brenna Marsicek, Director of Outreach for the Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance.
