Dear Friends,

What joy it is to share a new installment of the Disabsurdity podcast! In this episode, I speak with Cat Fribley, Executive Director of Birdability and a firm believer in the power of birding to change the world.

Cat takes a selfie in the early morning light with a placid meandering slough in the background. The banks are lined with large glossy green lily pads and other vegetation. Cat sports a blue top with white polka dots, dark red lipstick, and a silver stud beneath her lips. Her large round purple-tinged glasses rest on her blonde hair while she grasps a pair of binoculars with one hand. — Cat Fribley at Cone Marsh in Iowa (Photo by Cat Fribley)

We discuss the mindful and communal potential of birding, the differences between accessibility and inclusion, invisible disabilities, the offerings of Birdability Week 2024, and more!

Birdability Week runs from October 21-27, 2024. Register for Birdability Week's events here.
