This birding Big Day is a fun, fast-paced, semi-competitive race to see which team can identify the most bird species in Galveston County in 24-hours or during our half-day option! As the day heats up, so will the competition, awarding the winning teams bragging rights and the Hotter than Hell Big Day trophy.
