Birding: An Introduction to Ornithological Delights for Blind and Physically Handicapped Individuals.
Cylke, Frank Kurt, Ed.
The booklet provides resources for blind and visually handicapped individuals interested in birding as a hobby. It describes a midwestern group of visually impaired birders and discusses the importance and variety of bird sounds. Listed are a selection of recorded and braille books available on birding, sources of commercial recordings of bird songs, and clubs of persons interested in birding. Since far more birds are heard than seen, the hobby is seen as especially appropriate for the visually impaired. The directory section lists both adult and children's materials on either discs, cassettes, or braille. An order form is also included. (DB)
