Kids follow their ears at Easter egg hunt for blind, visually impaired

<strong>Bryson Taylor, 5, who suffers from near blindness due to cataracts, puzzles out how to turn off a beeping egg before competing hunters hone in on the sound during an Easter egg hunt for the blind hosted by the Shelby County Sheriff's Office at Willow Park on April 19, 2019. Some sight-impaired kids and adults got to participate in a hunt for the first time, searching the park for beeping plastic eggs that they turned in later for treats.</strong> (Jim Weber/Daily Memphian)
