2007 Big Year
December 29, 2007

This year besides trying another run at a Big Year in Utah, I am going to do a Photographic Big Year for the state. I don't believe this has been done and should be quite a challenge. The only rule on the photos is that the bird must be identifiable from the picture. Other than that, quality doesn't matter, but I will try to get some good shots. I will update this site on a weekly basis, or more often when I have the time.
