Congratulations, Tobin! New record for Big Year accomplished by the end
of September (448 species)!!! Three months to go..... so who knows how
high you will go.
I particularly appreciate the OUTSTANDING details you have included with
mileage, bird totals, blog, photos, and so many interesting finds. Having
done two Big Year's in Iowa back in 2012 and 2025 I can only imagine the
number of hours driving, the number of hours walking, scoping, and hours
spent making certain that the ID was correct for some of the incredibly
similar species (gray,dusky, least ... flycatchers). Yes, despite the
amount of birding related traveling I still do...BIG years are over for me.
I wish you even greater success the rest of the year.
God Bless. Be Safe, Stay Safe, and ENJOY yourself.
