Big Day in Texas - 2011

Update: On April 22, 2011, Team Sapsucker set the North American record for most bird species seen or heard in 24 hours: 264 species! The Cornell Lab's Team Sapsucker is heading to Texas for their Big Day quest to raise more than 0000 for bird conservation. On the best day in April (depending on weather) they'll attempt to break the national all-time record for most birds found in 24 hours. Raise the stakes, spur them on, and help us advance critical conservation efforts for the birds. Please pledge any amount per species, or make a flat donation. Thank you!
