An essential guide to accessible birding in all lower 48 states--the first comprehensive resource of its kind for bird lovers with disabilities, illnesses, or injuries
One of the biggest obstacles for disabled birders is knowing which locations will meet their access needs. A Field Guide to Accessible Birding in the United States provides details on more than 200 accessible trails, stationary birding locations, and car birding opportunities, enabling disabled birders to make informed decisions about visiting. Organized by state, each entry addresses a variety of access features, and every location was visited by the author to ensure accuracy and reliability. Whether you're a wheelchair hiker, a birder living with an injury or chronic illness, or a parent who struggles to find sites where you can easily push a stroller, this guide is your passport to discovering amazing, accessible places to enjoy birds. Nondisabled birders, too, will appreciate this collection of awe-inspiring birding experiences from across the country.- In-depth entries share invaluable information on the accessibility of each site, from parking and trail surfaces to benches, bathrooms, guide ropes, blinds, observation platforms, audio tours and loaner equipment, and potential barriers such as steps or gates
- Highlights spectacular migration experiences and the most accessible places to find specialty birds, from Tufted Puffins and Greater Prairie-Chickens to Bicknell's Thrushes and White-tailed Ptarmigan
- Uses icons for at-a-glance reference, noting the best season to visit, opportunities for birding by ear, and the availability of car, boat, bike, indoor, and stationary birding
- Provides a map for every state in the continental US along with stunning photos
- Tips and suggestions help birders choose the locations that best suit their needs and offers encouragement to try different styles of birding
- Draws on the author's lived experience as a disabled birder, perspectives from a variety of birders with disabilities, and best practices from the research
