Description:  Like Global Big Day, October Big Day is an opportunity to unite around our shared love of birds. Last year, nearly 36,332 people from 191 countries submitted 83,735 checklists with eBird, demonstrating the power of birds to bring people together.  Each year more and more participants join in this global celebration, how many people will contribute this year?  Wherever you are on 12 October, take a few minutes to join in this global celebration.  Participate from anywhere—even from home!  By taking part in October Big Day, you’re also celebrating Global Bird Weekend and World Migratory Bird Day. Be a part of the global team and help set a new record for October birding.  Turn data in on eBird.  Steve will review the species counts, high counts, and unusual sightings for the day.  We will summarize in the next newsletter.
