Rarified Air – One Passionate Birders’ Big Year Quest

Gino Ellison – Jenks Center, Winchester

The Menotomy Bird Club will be hosting a meeting on Tuesday, June 25^th @ 6:00 PM at the Jenks Center, 109 Skillings Road in Winchester as Gino Ellison will share his experiences as he undertook his ”Big Year” in 2023.

Have you ever wondered how many different bird species could you dream of seeing, capturing a sound recording of or photographing from January 1 to December 31 of any given year? Have you ever considered doing a Big Year either at the ABA level or the county level or the state level? Why would you want to even do one? How does one plan out all the logistics to ensure that each of the important states are visited at the most opportune times? Can you do this alone or do you need to seek out help? 

Well then join us on June 25th and meet Big Year Birder Gino Ellison to learn about the mishaps, the successes, the lessons learned along the way, the hilarious birding stories, the new life-time friends met along the way and the joy of reporting 801 bird species during 2023 

Doors open at 5:30 for set up and social time and the meeting starts promptly at 6:00 PM.

If you are interested in leading a trip, please reach out to Alan Ankers, Renee LaFontaine or myself, the club would be so lucky to have you lead.

Please continue to post your observations.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
