What I Learned in Costa Rica from October Global Big Day, 2021

10,000 Birds

Another October Big Day has come and gone and thus made its way into the sacred birding archives. Similar to 2020, more than 32,000 people participated, 78,000 checklists were submitted, and more than 7,200 bird species were identified. Nothing like getting as many people to bird at the same time as possible and see what they find! It shows how many people are into watching birds, how many use eBird, and the incredible wealth of bird life found on our one and only home planet.
