What better way to ring in the new year than to reserve your spot
for the second annual Biggest Week In American Birding!

But first...

Your Biggest Week hosts would like to thank everyone who joined us in May 2010 for the inaugural Biggest Week in American Birding. We learned a lot, laughed even more, dodged lots of rain drops, saw great birds, met tons of new people, and had a fabulous time! Many thanks to all of our sponsors, click here, with special thanks to Leica Sport Optics for their support of our event.

We owe a debt of gratitude for the massive number of volunteers hours contributed to this event. Without this team of extraordinary people this event would not have been possible. Click here for a photographic tribute to our remarkable team!

Thank you to the birds themselves for bringing us all together to celebrate what being outdoors is all about. We offer special thanks to the Kirtland's Warbler that stopped by for a visit on Friday, May 14th. It was a brief visit, he only lingered for a day, but it was enough to bring delight to thousands of lucky birders. Click here (PDF) for a list of the species seen during the festival.

You can help us make this a better place for birds and birders by taking a few minutes to fill out the survey form sent out after the 2010 Biggest Week. If you attended the festival and did NOT receive this form but would like to contribute your information to this important survey, please contact us at biggestweek@bsbo.org.
