Some of you may have seen the movie “The Big Year”, if you haven’t I highly recommend it!  While I am not into list counting or being competitive, it still makes a fascinating story!

Now revered as one of North America’s top birders, Kenn Kaufman hit the road at age sixteen and spent a year crisscrossing the country to see as many birds as he could, in a birding competition known as a “big year.” In what has become a classic among birders, this memoir chronicles the subculture of birding in the 1970s and a teenager’s search for his place in the world. In a new afterword, Kaufman looks at the evolution of bird-listing since his own big year.
