In 2015, bird nerd Noah Strycker of Oregon became the first human to see more than half of the planet’s bird species in a single, year-long, round-the-world birding trip. Anything could have happened, and a lot did. He was scourged by blood-sucking leeches, suffered fevers and sleep deprivation, survived airline snafus and car breakdowns and mudslides and torrential floods, skirted war zones, and had the time of his life. Birding on seven continents and carrying only a pack on his back, Strycker enlisted the enthusiastic support of local birders to tick more than 6,000 species, including Adelie Penguins in Antarctica, a Harpy Eagle in Brazil, a Spoon-billed Sandpiper in Thailand, and a Green-breasted Pitta in Uganda. He shared the adventure in real time on his daily blog (audubon.org/noah), and now he reveals the inside story. This humorous and inspiring presentation about Strycker’s epic World Big Year will leave you with a new appreciation for the birds and birders of the world.
We will have copies of Birding Without Borders: An Obsession, a Quest, and the Biggest Year in the World for sale before the event and we will have a book signing before the program. If you already have one of his books, you’re welcome to bring it for him to sign! NOTE: We will be unable to process credit card payments at the talk, so please bring cash or a check. Also, these books are being donated by one of our board members, so 100% of your purchase (except for tax) will go to the Apalachee Audubon!
