On January 1st, 2004, I began the birding adventure of a lifetime. Taking a year off, I set out to explore the birding meccas of North America and see as many bird species as I could in a single year. This has been done by others many times before and is referred to among birding circles as a "Big Year". However, I may be the first person to undertake this task after only having formally started bird watching some two plus years prior.

Below is the list of the bird species I have seen so far and where and when I have seen them. The menu to the left can be used to view photos, videos, equipment reviews and more.

2004 Species count = 648 (including 6 heard but not seen)
