Challenging a 27 Year Old Birding Record

September 21, 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

NOTE! Due to a scheduling conflict, there will be no in-person event at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens. This will be a Zoom event only.  

Join birding phenoms Ben Lucking, Andy Dettling, and Colin Dobson as they try to bring the Michigan Big Day record home. In May 1995, out of state birders set the Michigan Big Day record of 203 species seen within a 24 hour period. Ben, Andy, and Colin attempted to break the record this year on May 28, finding 200 species. Come hear the account of their efforts from midnight in the Upper Peninsula, followed by a mad dash south, and the unexpected birds found, along with the frustrating species they were unable to find. This will be an in person and a Zoom event. Zoom details will be posted here prior to the event.

This is a Zoom-only program. All are welcome; Washtenaw Audubon membership is not required to attend or view the program.
