Hannah and Erik head to Texas for a few Big Days!  Competitive birding is on the rise with a multitude of different types of competitions from 5-mile radius to international affairs and everywhere in between.  Birders have a history of big days and years...but what does it take to plan one of these for yourself and be successful?

Did we win the Great Texas Birding Classic?  Guess we'll find out June 1st, 2019!
