For anyone remotely interested in birding as a hobby and especially competitive birding, this book is a must-read. Filled with a great balance of birding tips and wild stories, the entertainment value was spot-on while also inspiring others to go after their own version of a Big Year.

I got these today from the amazingly talented @teebe I love them so much I want to frame them! I think I‘ll settle for getting them laminated bc I would cry if anything happened to them.
And I got maple candy (the best candy ever). Best start to a new year (despite our subzero temperatures).

When a library‘s gotta do what a library‘s gotta do (the rest of the book is practically brand new!).

A friend is getting wisdom teeth pulled today. I'm their ride home. Nothing to do but wait....and read obviously. #readeverywhere

Scfreads How is the book so far? I saw the movie version. 7y
valeriegeary @Scfreads It's fine. I'm only about 40 pgs in. Reading it for research purposes so I'm kind of skimming but I like the writing well enough. The story is pretty interesting. I might watch the movie too. 7y
