BIGBY may have been discussed on naturens earlier and I missed it, but it is a great concept to share. BIGBY : Big Green Big Year is for birders who are trying to go carbon neutral. You count birds only while walking, biking or working in your yard this year. Taking public transit to a local spot is a special category. This is hard on a lister like me, but I am working towards it. I can bird in my Halifax neighbourhood ( Point Pleasant Park is a healthy walk) but I have to drive to get to my summer place in Port Greville. Once there I can walk to my favourite birding spots, and even cover a square for the atlas. I was up before 5 am last Sunday and walked until after 8am. I was pleased to find Spruce Grouse, Veery, Swainson's Thrush and Robin, Merlin, Nighthawk, both Vireos, Alder Flycatchers, Song, White-throated and Vesper Sparrows, Common Yellowthroat, Magnolia, Black-throated Green, Chestnut-sided, Black and White, Redstart and Yellow warblers within six km of home. Green birding is a good idea that seems to be catching on world wide. Cheers, Joan http://www.sparroworks.ca/bigby.html
