My Big Year

About

My Big Year is your personal radar for birds you haven’t seen — on Big Years, Big Days, and Life Lists, across the places you actually bird. Built by a retired software developer, it was his tool for a Maine Big Year record (2021) and later helped him and his wife reach 708 species in the Lower 48 (2024). This release opens that workflow to birders across major regions — not just one state.
