The Big Year: a 2012 Checklist

Um, hello. Were you aware there was a new movie coming out starring Steve Martin, Jack Black AND Owen Wilson? That’s pretty much my comedy movie trifecta (throw in Will Farrell and it would be a mind-blowing…. equivalent to trifecta when you have four. Quadfecta?)

AND it’s about birding, something I talk about all the time on the internets:

• Top 10 Reasons to Care For Wild Birds this Winter
• Snapshot Adventures: Secret of Bird Island
• 2011 Great Backyard Bird Count
• Winter Birdwatching for Beginners

to name a few 🙂

Throw seeing The Big One on your 2012 to-do list… and then check out this get-started guide to birding. (This post is full of WIN.)
