Following the Birdsong
<p>Birding, whether visual or auditory, is a great way to experience the natural world and protect biodiversity. The sensory experience of birding by sound is a boost to disability inclusion, too.</p>
<p>Identifying birds by calls or songs rather than sight is called blind birding, though it is not only for the visually impaired. It can be a challenging skill to hone as many birds have similar songs, and others can mimic the sounds of other species.</p>
<p>Identifying birds through sound requires being attentive to the unique sounds and calls of birds. <strong>Juan Pablo, who was born blind, can reportedly identify more than 2,000 birds by their song.</strong> That’s pretty impressive considering Colombia is home to the largest number of bird species in the world.</p>
