David Allen Sibley (author of the Sibley Field Guide to Birds) on Malkolm's Bird Year:

"I am excited to hear about your epic adventure! When I was in high school in Connecticut I daydreamed about doing something similar when I graduated, but ended up with a van, camping in good birding areas and using my bike for daily transportation. I just checked out your website and it looks like your goal of raising awareness is already well underway – congratulations!"

Excerpt of message from Kenn Kaufman, author of "Kingbird Highway" and the Kaufman Field Guide Series. (to see the entire message click here).

"Just wanted to tell you how much I admire your current project. There's a proud tradition of serious teenaged birders making big bird year attempts that spanned the North American continent. For example, Ted Parker embarked on such a quest the year he turned 18, and I did one the year I turned 19.  But without a doubt, what Malkolm is engaged in now is the most impressive big year ever!"

Take the Bird Day Challenge!

Spring Migration is here—time for a Bird Day Challenge!

Each week we'll profile a new BDC participant: this week, Polly, Kirsten and Sam's Yukon BDC and Gina Loewen & Family.

Help Malkolm raise $12,000 for bird conservation (currently $12,385).
