NORTH COUNTRY BIG DAY

SATURDAY, MAY 12 THROUGH FRIDAY, MAY 18, 2018

To provide yet another setting in which our members and friends can share their enthusiasm for birding with one
another, North Country Bird Club is sponsoring a North Country Big Day event this spring. Teams of two to
four birders are to work together to identify as many species as possible between midnight and midnight of
any single day between Saturday, May 12, and Friday, May 18. While team members may bird individually
and record species at their feeders on the team’s chosen day, the intent for the event is that the team will bird
together for much of the time spent in the field. (We will publish a list of the members of all teams and of all
species recorded, but note the number of species recorded only for the team which finds the most.)
