A First-of-Its-Kind Event Helps Blind Birders Build Community

3 weeks ago | audubon.org | H Conley

__________Tracy Carcione knows there’s a Fish Crow across the street—she heard it earlier today—but for now it’s keeping its beak shut. So, she demonstrates the difference between the rough, drawn-out caw of the American Crow, and then the more staccato squawk of the Fish Crow, which to me, a birding novice, sounds like a crow making fun of a gull. “They’re like snarky crows,” she says.

Vince Wescott was ready for top surgery. He had the cash saved up, he’d gotten a letter from his therapist, and he’d sent in the required photos of his chest and torso in preparation for a consultation. When his surgeon’s office called unexpectedly, he picked up, assuming that they were missing paperwork or needed to reschedule. But he was met by the panicked voice of a nurse. “The doctor had a look at the pictures and your weight is very concerning,” Wescott remembers her saying.
