Bob & John's Big Year 2010

This month marks the beginning of unique endeavor known as the "ABA Big Year" for our own John Spahr and Norfolk birder Bob Ake. This will be an attempt to count as many bird species as possible within one calendar year within the American Birding Association geographic area, defined as the 49 states in the continental U.S., including Alaska, as well as Canada and the oceans within 200 miles of the coast. They recently spotted dozens of Harris's Sparrows in Texas, and have identified about 250 species so far. Follow Bob & John's "excellent adventure" at Bob's birds blog.
