How do you become
the greatest birder in the world?
You have to win the Big Year.
What's a Big Year?
Here, I'll let this English guy tell you.
Well into the 19th century,
Americans celebrated Christmas Day
with contests to kill
the most birds in a single day.
In 1900, Audubon Society ornithologist
Frank Chapman
suggested Americans should
count them instead,
leading eventually
to the creation of the Big Year,
a competition to see
the greatest number of birds
in North America in a calendar year.
