Almost every year for the past few years, Sam and I have undertaken a Big Day in Montana. We have amassed totals of 192 species in a day (which unofficially ties the current record), and raced across the vastness that is this state. These days have been adrenalin-fueled races that were accompanied by hallucinogenic, sleep-deprived bouts of terror and ecstasy.
This year, we decided to do something different; we are going undertake a 5-day, 1600 mile Big Loop. The idea of the Big Loop is to truly bird as much territory as possible without racing. The goals are to see a number of species (hopefully more than 200) and to enjoy our time in the field. As you can see from the map below, we will visiting a variety of areas and habitats.
I will be writing updates (by hand) on the road, but I will updating through Twitter and Facebook. Party on!
