More than one hundred Caribbean birders participated in this year’s Global Big Day, helping to set a new world record of 6,299 species,
as well as set a new Global Big Day record for the Caribbean itself! In
order to break the old record, birders all over the world spent the 24
hours of May 14 observing and counting as many species as
possible—jointly recording over 60% of all living birds in only one day and passing the old record by 141 species!
BirdsCaribbean is the largest
regional organization dedicated to the conservation of wild birds and their
habitats in the insular Caribbean (including Bermuda, the Bahamas and all
islands within the Caribbean basin).
