A film by Jason Kessler
The World Series of WHAT?
Equal parts scavenger hunt, science expedition, and endurance test, The World Series of Birding is also a fundraiser, generating millions of dollars for conservation. The more bird species tallied, the more money raised.
- One team mounts a paramilitary operation replete with infrared scopes and GPS devices.
- Another team does the event on foot, jogging almost 50 miles.
- After scouting for weeks, one team has the entire 24 hours planned literally to the minute.
- A Seniors team counts only the birds that fly by the bench it sits on all day.
Past participants have included some of the most renowned birders in the world, such as Roger Tory Peterson, David Allen Sibley, Kenn Kaufman, and Pete Dunne.
