On May 9th, Will Kirsch, Lin Stern, Liam Ehrman and I broke the Klamath County Big Day record set by Steve Summers, Jim Carlson, and Steve Gordon in 1984. Their record was 171 and we had 174 species detected by the majority of the group, 175 total between all observers.
This was my 4th attempt at the county big day record. Will has been there for every attempt, and Lin also joined us in 2025. From what I can tell this ties the highest big day number in a single county in Oregon. It was a pretty incredible day of birding with a pretty incredible crew - our eBird trip report with a more detailed writeup is linked below!
