With Dan Scheiman's absence, the annual BirdAR big day competition didn't come together this year (though I understand it will be back next year). As the reigning BirdAR champions, The Thrashers team wants to keep in practice, so we plan on doing a big day this spring and would love for others to join us in some friendly competition. The rules are simple: teams of 2 or more must bird together for the entire day. Each bird that counts must be seen or heard by at least 2 team members. A day is midnight to midnight. The birding day can be any you like before May 20. (Also generally observe the ABA Big Day rules: https://www.aba.org/aba-big-day-count-rules/). All birds must be within the Arkansas state line. Uta Meyer from Audubon Delta has agreed to provide BirdAR t-shirts to anyone who participates and if enough folks are up for it, we may have a time to share our totals, etc. Let me know if you get a team together and share your totals when you've completed your big day!
