I've been following this blog since I was shown it, back around the end of February: Biking for Birds.

Dorian Anderson is a birder from Boston. He threw up his job (neuroscientist) to take year off and do a Big Year ... but not a normal Big Year. He is doing a 100% "green" Big Year. He has not used ANY power except for his legs for his travel. He started in New England in January, rode through the worst of the "Polar Vortex" in New York and Pennsylvania, just spent about two weeks in Florida, and is now working his way across the Gulf Coast to reach the Galveston vicinity for the peak of cross-Gulf migration.

He has ridden over 4,000 miles and seen (as of yesterday) 268 species of birds and he is not only riding all this way (with no support vehicle, mind you: I said 100% "green"), he is also blogging about it ... so far has not missed a day.

He intends to continue from there across to Arizona in early summer, then north through Colorado, west to Oregon, south to California, then back west to Texas and the Central Plains for wintering northern birds.

He is hoping to gain donations for several environmental funds.

Seriously cool blog!!!
