His two-wheeled journey was an eco-friendly twist on the Big Year\, a project during which a birdwatcher tries to observe as many species as possible during a calendar year. While his predecessors utilized cars\, planes\, and boats\, Anderson’s goal was to replicate their transcontinental travels without the use of petroleum\, a herculean challenge no one before him had accepted. He ultimately survived subzero temperatures\, drifting snow\, gusting winds\, lightning storms\, mountainous ascents\, dog attacks\, crumbling roads\, and several accidents. By December 31\, he’d amassed 618 bird species across 18\,000 miles of riding\, totals no one imagined possible when he set off with zero cycling experience. \nDorian will speak about the genesis of his bike-birding project\, provide a thrilling recount of his travels\, highlight the birds he saw\, and reveal how his adventure changed his life. His personality and enthusiasm are infectious\, and his tales of birding\, cycling\, and self-discovery will inspire others to venture into the outdoors\, take note of the birds around them\, and make positive changes in their own lives. \nSee full description and register here \n• • • \nRegistration Required\nThe bird walks\, talks\, and workshops are free and open to the public\, but registration is mandatory.
