Aidan’s Big Year in Suffolk!
Aidan Perkins
Aidan started birding when he was 11 after watching the movie “The Big Year”. Then at 23 in 2025 Aidan took on one of birdings greatest challenges, and attempted a big year of his own within Suffolk county. His goal –– beating the record of 305. Come listen to Aidan talk about the trials and tribulations of this long but fruitful year of birding in Suffolk county.
A big year is a year-long quest to identify as many bird species as possible within a set boundary. You can do it in your yard, your local patch, over a state, county, a country, or the world. During a Big Year, there are few rules, but in general you must see or hear the bird, and you need to be sure of your identification. Getting a photo is good but not necessary.
This meeting will be held take place at
Moriches Bay Recreation Facility
