Birding Buddies: This is Ridiculous

This is Ridiculous

Just a quick update.
I told Liam while we were looking at a Golden-crowned warbler that he better soak it in and enjoy as it may be the only time he ever sees this bird. He said "you keep saying that".
Brown Jay
Black-vented Oriole
Golden-crowned Warbler
Tropical Parula
Crimson-collared Grosbeak
Wow!
When we get back we will detail our trip and put up some photos. (our neighbor let us borrow his camera!)

What's the deal?

I took my 10 year old son Liam to see "The Big Year". When the movie was over he said he wanted to do a big year and I said ok. The idea has grown out of control and we are about to take a journey that I hope will cement a father and son bond to last a lifetime. Counting birds is just the game; spending time together is the reward! Don't let this explanation fool you though...we are serious and are trying to break the record.

Update - A personal setback this summer derailed any chance of a really big number this year but we are back at and plan to finish as strong as possible!
