Bruce's (Groovy) Big Years
Presenter: Bruce DiLabio
In 1977, teenager Bruce DiLabio attempted to set a new record for most birds seen in Canada in one year. In 2023, he did it again.
OFO's 2024 Distinguished Ornithologist shares some of his stories, the ups and the downs, as he compares the experiences of doing a Canadian Big Year as a teen in the '70's and then as a retiree in 2023. Spoiler alert: doing a Canada-wide big year is extra tough when you don't have a car!
