Big Day 2013The people that took Anna’s birding course in April will remember seeing the Inside Birding series with Jessie Barry and Chris Wood. These two made up part of the Team Sapsucker as they sighted 294 species, 30 more than before in 24 hours. This record will probably stand for a while. They must all be suffering from warbler neck and sleep deprivation. Nice job folks.
