It’s been called “extreme birding.” A movie has been made about it, many birders dream about it, but few actually attempt it. Of course, we’re talking about a birding “Big Year” when everything else in life takes a backseat to compiling the longest list of bird species possible. Santa Fe birder Bob Foehring committed to reaching at least 600 species in the U.S. in 2025. Fresh off his quest, Bob will share the strategy, planning, execution, and frustrations of his Big Year attempt. What did he encounter along the way? What bird was his nemesis? Mosty importantly, did he hit 600? Come find out — everyone is welcome. There is no charge and the building is wheelchair accessible. There is plenty of parking and we suggest bringing a flashlight for your departure.
