Can We Find Over 150 Bird Species in One Day? (Spring Big Day Challenge)

A Big Day in the birding world is where you try to find as many species as possible in a single day. In May of 2024, we went out in Wisconsin with our friend Cole to see if we could break our previous Big Day records as well as a benchmark of 150 species.

Special thanks to our members Liz McQuaid, Sarah Coffey, Barbara Cole, Chris Slagle, Sally, Sarah, Scott Carmichael, and Laurie Borgers!
