The Big Sit!® 2020 All eBird checklists from The Big Sit! held on October 10 and 11, 2020, have been received. We have clear winners. We have seen the Facebook pictures and posts. To be sure, everyone had a good time. The Big Sit! was started by the New Haven Bird Club 1992. Nine years later Birdwatcher’s Digest took over management of the event and with their resources grew the event to 234 circles in ten countries. Due to changes at Birdwatcher’s Digest, management of The Big Sit! was given back to the New Haven Bird Club this year. We are a small club and had to use a combination of approaches to keep The Big Sit! going. We built a website to inform the participants, we used eBird for data handling and Facebook for comments, chats, and photos. Many organizations still use The Big Sit! to raise funds for conservation. Most importantly it was the circle compilers and participants who jumped in to keep the tradition alive. eBird added an important aspect to The Big Sit! It offers a simple user interface, an ease of effort tracking, an ability to capture GPS coordinates and location management, and accessibility to the data that could be invaluable to scientists studying bird migration on a continental scale. Data can be exported from eBird and shared as a spreadsheet. Please let us know if you would like this year’s data; email us at [email protected]. This year The Big Sit! had three countries participating: Costa Rica (one circle, 47 species), Guatemala (three circles, 147 species), and the United States of America (98 circles, 358 Species). Hopefully in the future we can attract Big Sit! circles in other countries and on other continents.

  • The Big Sit!® 2020 All eBird checklists from The Big Sit! held on October 10 and 11, 2020, have been received. We have clear winners.

    We have seen the Facebook pictures and posts. To be sure, everyone had a good time.

    The Big Sit! was started by the New Haven Bird Club 1992. Nine years later Birdwatcher’s Digest took over management of the event and with their resources grew the event to 234 circles in ten countries. Due to changes at Birdwatcher’s Digest, management of The Big Sit! was given back to the New Haven Bird Club this year.

    We are a small club and had to use a combination of approaches to keep The Big Sit! going. We built a website to inform the participants, we used eBird for data handling and Facebook for comments, chats, and photos. Many organizations still use The Big Sit! to raise funds for conservation. Most importantly it was the circle compilers and participants who jumped in to keep the tradition alive.

    eBird added an important aspect to The Big Sit! It offers a simple user interface, an ease of effort tracking, an ability to capture GPS coordinates and location management, and accessibility to the data that could be invaluable to scientists studying bird migration on a continental scale. Data can be exported from eBird and shared as a spreadsheet. Please let us know if you would like this year’s data; email us at [email protected].

    This year The Big Sit! had three countries participating: Costa Rica (one circle, 47 species), Guatemala (three circles, 147 species), and the United States of America (98 circles, 358 Species). Hopefully in the future we can attract Big Sit! circles in other countries and on other continents.

    Some Unique Approaches

    Friends of Goose Pond in Indiana did two Big Sits. One was actual (as per normal rules). The other was virtual through Zoom and FaceBook Live. Due to social distancing, they could not invite folks like they normally do. They broadcast on Zoom for 12 hours. They had birders on property connected via Zoom sharing scope views. Remote viewers also tuned in via Zoom and see the actual "Big Sitters" and see what the virtual "Big Sitters" were seeing. Viewers could hear the conversations, stories etc.

    Snacks

    The Big Sit! is nicknamed the “Tailgate party of birding.” Tailgating means food is involved. So next year let’s see how each circle does snacks. Here are few photos from Connecticut.

    Figure 3: Big Sit! Snacks

    Moving Forward

    This was the New Haven Bird Club’s first year back with managing The Big Sit! We all had challenges with the COVID-19 pandemic. We think we are off to a great start. We hope to see the event expand to more circles in more states and countries. Please let us know if you have ideas on how to improve the event by emailing [email protected]. Together we can continue the fun and provide a very important snapshot of bird distribution during the October migration.

    Circles Ranked by Number of Species (Bragging Rights for Best Overall Count and Best State Count)

    For the purpose of The Big Sit! Bragging Rights, the checklists from each circle were ranked based on the number of eBird Species in the submitted eBird report. We hope to modify the Rules for The Big Sit! next year to adjust for our use of eBird as the reporting system.
