The Big Sit

The Big Sit is a semi-competitive international event, sponsored by the New Haven Bird Club, in which birders sit in a 17 ft. circle and count birds for the weekend. If you’re interested in joining a circle, contact John Mueller at (818) 625-9584. You could also form your own circle to compete. Visit https://www.thebigsit.org/  for more info or to register a circle. Also let John know if you register a circle in case other folks want to join you.

So, pick a nice birdy spot, bring snacks, make yourselves comfortable, and see how many bird species you can document over the weekend from inside your circles. Then Monday morning, send your totals to fieldtrips@conejovalleyaudubon.org. We’ll publish which individual or team got the most species, and who found the best bird.
