The Big Year Begins

 My Big Year actually began 20 December 2025 when Edith and I took a tour with the Audubon Society at the Riparian Park in Gilbert, Arizona, but for purposes of "The Big Year" I am saying it started January 1, 2026




It was a great beginning.  The tour was  incredible and got me all excited about birding. 
I downloaded the MERLIN app on my phone and logged onto e-bird  on my computer.

The American Coot was  the beginning of "MY BIG YEAR".


Call of the American Coot

Later we watched the movie "The Big Year".  I have officially started my "BIG YEAR"!!!!
