The health of our Arizona rivers and the livelihood of the people and the wildlife that depend on them are in jeopardy. A combination of drought, invasive species, over-allocation and unsustainable management are running our rivers dry. Many of the birds that depend on them, like the Western Yellow-billed Cuckoo and Bell’s Vireo, are in decline, and the future of the communities and economies surrounding the rivers is uncertain.

Welcome to my BIRD-BLOG!

I'm a birder and long time Arizonan and outdoor enthusiast. Been wheelin' it for over twenty years, and on occasion, even wing'd it (that's a whole other blog). I'm fascinated by birds, and anything else that flies. This blog is to share my experiences as I explore Arizona, looking for great, wheelchair accessible, birding hot spots. You are at http://www.birdingwithoutbarriers.com/ - ENJOY!

DISABLED BIRDING LINKS

Birding For All (formerly Disabled Birders Association) would never compromise the needs of birds or other wildlife with their push to get better access for people, but do believe that good design that gives access to people with mobility problems etc. does give improved access to EVERYBODY. Half of DBA members have a disability and half do not - they welcome all as it will only be by an alliance of disabled and able-bodied people that change will happen. Please join Birding For All - Membership is FREE.
