10,000 Birds

JANUARY 9, 2013

Ali Iyoob is looking to break the North Carolina Big Year record of 351 this year. Rangel Diaz is doing a big year in Miami-Dade County, Florida, hoping to reach 300 species, and keeping a blog about it. Follow his adventures at Greg and Birds. Anyway, without further ado, here are the 2013 Big Year birders!

European Starlings count as much as any other bird on a big year. Now seems like a good time to look in on the birding big years happening in 2013 to see how folks are doing as they tear around their county or region or state or province or country trying to see as many birds as possible before 1 January 2014.

I am really excited to say I’ll be heading down to Space Coast Birding & Wildlife Festival in Titusville, Florida, next month as a correspondent for 10,000 Birds. This will, however, be the first time I will have been able to devote myself apologetically to the birds of this amazing state for an entire week.
