Cornell's birding resources includes this great blog, and I love how this teacher is taking her blind students out into the woodlands to touch, smell, hear the marvels of God. And she is doing something that I have thought for years should be required education for the blind... she is teaching them to bird by knowing their calls. Just another great way to be in the Gardens of God's making. Next time you are in
your garden, close your eyes and see what you can sense. With your eyes closed, thank God for your senses, and for all the things you can recognize with your senses only. And if you need a new challenge, take your backyard birding to new heights by learning the calls of certain birds by recognizing their call.
You can count on Cornell University's "BIRDING BY EAR" for that, available at most birding and book stores. Or order it online. Just another great way to love being in the garden.
