Spend a year at Whitefish Point with Michael Kielb, who has devoted much time to this far north bit of Michigan, on the shores of Lake Superior, watching migration as the seasons change. Michael teaches biology at Eastern Michigan University, and is a board member of Whitefish Point Bird Observatory.

Ride with Andy Dettling and Jacco Gelderloos as they set the standard for Green Big Years. Using only their feet and bicycles, these Iron Birders have sighted a remarkable number of bird species over the course of the calendar year, in most cases outperforming those birding wimps who have used automobiles in previous big year attempts. Hear their tales of death-defying rides in pre-dawn hours, in rain, snow, and heavy traffic as they work their Big Green Big Years, known as BGBYs!*
