| Song Sparrow, my 32nd bird of the year |
After the movie, The Big Year, was released in October, several people suggested that I do a Big Year myself sometime. I know I will never have the right combination of wealth, time and energy to do a North American Big Year like those depicted in the movie. However, there is nothing to prevent me from doing a Big Year on a smaller scale. So, I am doing what I refer to as a slow-paced, take-it-easy, South Dakota Semi-Big Year. All that really amounts to is that I am keeping track of all the bird species I see in South Dakota during 2012. If you want to follow along with me, just go to the page link over on the right side of this blog. There you will see the list of all my 2012 South Dakota birds to date. Right now the list stands at 64. Wish me luck, there are a lot of birds still out there!

I hope you do well. You have a great start. This is our first time keeping a year list. We started our life list last year. I'd like to have a comparison each year and hope this year as we continue learning about birds that we will see a greater number.
