A Big Year
By Bob Kowalski

Would you go to the ends of the earth to see a bird? What if it were a really special bird: one with beautiful feathers, an entrancing call, or a silly dance? What if seeing that one special bird would allow you to win a contest?

If that contest doesn't get you on television or win you any cash prizes, would you still do it? For those who participate in the "Big Year," the honor of beating the previous record is the only reward they get or even want.

A "Big Year" is a year in which a person attempts to see as many different species of birds as possible within a particular region. For most in North America who participate in a "Big Year," this region is the lower 48 American states, plus Alaska, Canada, and a couple of French islands off the Canadian coast.

You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record holders and the commitment it takes to get these numbers. One recent "Big Year" winner managed to see 744 birds in one year, missing the record by just one bird. Big Year birders travel by train, plane, boat, car, bicycle, and of course, by foot. They can cover over 150 thousand miles to get numbers of sightings this high. They can also spend a small fortune.

Just to clarify, the birds these contestants are counting are the number that they see in a particular year. You see, the contest is based on an honor system. No pictures or other evidence is required as proof of a sighting. Most birders take great pride in their reputation and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. Usually, important sightings of the rare birds needed to get counts in the 700s are visited by hundreds of birders. It is pretty hard to cheat your way to a record-breaking year, but in general, few are interested in cheating.

This honesty comes from the fact that most people who want to break such a record know the greatest rewards are not necessarily in winning. Such rewards are in being able to commit a year of your life to doing something you love. Rewards are found in seeing amazing, inspiring creatures like the California Condor or the Magnificent Frigate bird. Rewards also come in spending time with people who, like you, want to spend their time looking to the skies and trees for glimpses of emerald, crimson, or cerulean blue feathered jewels.

You don't have to be able to travel a continent to have a big birding experience though. Have a big month. Or a big weekend. Set a personal record, learn to identify the species that live in your part of the world, or try to learn the calls of just two species of birds. You will soon find looking at birds isn't such a strange way to spend your time.


Extra! Extra! Backyard Birding
Many schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year," the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead, participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website. Called a "citizen-science" project, this event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over one weekend in February.

Read this excerpt from Robert Frost’s “Out, Out—.” Which three characteristics of narrative poetry does it contain?

The buzz saw snarled and rattled in the yard
And made dust and dropped stove-length sticks of wood,
Sweet-scented stuff when the breeze drew across it.
And from there those that lifted eyes could count
Five mountain ranges one behind the other
Under the sunset far into Vermont.
And the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled,
As it ran light, or had to bear a load.
And nothing happened: day was all but done.
Call it a day, I wish they might have said
To please the boy by giving him the half hour
That a boy counts so much when saved from work.
His sister stood beside him in her apron
To tell them ‘Supper.’ At the word, the saw,
As if to prove saws knew what supper meant,
Leaped out at the boy’s hand, or seemed to leap—
He must have given the hand. However it was,
Neither refused the meeting. But the hand!

Have you ever been in a situation where you had an opinion on something that was different from the opinion of most of those around you? If so, describe the situation. Why do you think that most people in our society prefer to conform and "go along" with the majority?

Read the two passages.


Passage 1


I work as a tour guide here at the mountain. Climbers sometimes hire me to guide them to the summit. I know all there is to know about Everest. First of all, it is the highest mountain on Earth. In 1979, the area surrounding Everest was designated as a natural world heritage site. It sits on the border between Nepal and Tibet, which is a region of China. In fact, the border runs right up over the peak of the mountain. The summit of Everest soars high above the clouds at an astonishing 29,029 feet. That's almost as high as airplanes fly! On the summit of Everest, climbers stand as close to the stars as they can with both feet still on Earth. I have stood on the breathtaking summit myself almost a dozen times. The feeling is unbelievable, so it is no wonder this towering mountain has attracted climbers for centuries.


Passage 2


To experience Mount Everest, most people who want to climb the mountain hire a tour guide. Tour guides are experts on the mountain and many have climbed the mountain successfully on several occasions. Most of these tour guides have a deep interest in the history of the mountain. They can give climbers valuable information such as explaining that Everest is a natural world heritage site, sits between the border of Nepal and Tibet, and that the border between these two places is right over the mountain peak. Tour guides can also explain different stats to climbers and remind them that they are on one of the highest mountains in the world. Though the trip to the top of the mountain can be grueling, the view from the summit usually astonishes and satisfies those who make it safely.


How does the point of view impact what the reader learns about in each passage?

1 The first-person point of view in Passage 1 allows the reader to learn about how it feels being on the summit, while the third-person point of view in Passage 2 allows the reader learn more about the benefits of tour guides.

2 The first-person point of view in Passage 1 allows the reader to learn about the visible damage to the mountain seen by the author, while the third-person point of view in Passage 2 focuses more on the solutions to the problems.

3 The third-person point of view in Passage 1 allows the reader to learn about where most climbers are from, while the first-person point of view in Passage 2 allows the reader to learn more about the feeling of meeting different climbers.

4 The third-person point of view in Passage 1 allows the reader to learn about the height of the mountain, while the first-person point of view in Passage 2 allows the reader to learn about how it feels standing on the summit.

the poem:
My heart be brave, and do not falter so,
Nor utter more that deep, despairing wail.
Thy way is very dark and drear I know,
But do not let thy strength and courage fail;
For certain as the raven-winged night
Is followed by the bright and blushing morn,
Thy coming morrow will be clear and bright;
’Tis darkest when the night is furthest worn.
Look up, and out, beyond, surrounding clouds,
And do not in thine own gross darkness grope,
Rise up, and casting off thy hind’ring shrouds,
Cling thou to this, and ever inspiring hope:
Tho’ thick the battle and tho’ fierce the fight,
There is a power making for the right.

Excerpted from The First Men in the Moon by H.G. Wells

He had his watch out as I came up to him. He had a chubby, rubicund face with reddish brown eyes—previously I had seen him only against the light. “One moment, sir,” said I as he turned. He stared. “One moment,” he said, “certainly. Or if you wish to speak to me for longer, and it is not asking too much —your moment is up—would it trouble you to accompany me?”
“Not in the least,” said I, placing myself beside him.
“My habits are regular. My time for intercourse—limited.”
“This, I presume, is your time for exercise?”
“It is. I come here to enjoy the sunset.”
“You don’t.”
“Sir?”
“You never look at it.”
“Never look at it?”
“No, I’ve watched you thirteen nights, and not once have you looked at the sunset—not once.”

Which of the following describes one of the main obstacles Schwermer's lifestyle presents?

Part of that philosophy requires her to put a lot of faith in the unknown. Other than the small notebook she uses to keep track of her scheduled speaking engagements and housing arrangements, most of her plans are left to fate. “I see a lot of miracles in my daily life. For example, in the beginning I found food. I thought about things and then I found them in the street or people came to bring them to me,” she explains. “I think these miracles happen because of our thoughts.” When seasons change, she gives away whatever clothing she has and waits for new items to come along. Most are given by hosts and friends she meets along the way. The road wasn’t always easy. With two adult children and three grandchildren, Schwermer admits her family wasn’t exactly on board when she pitched the idea. She now sees them only a few times per year, but says they eventually warmed up to her come-and-go lifestyle. “Now they’re proud of what I’m doing. It’s enough for us,” she says. Although she never had plans to go public with her life, after a German book publisher pushed her to put pen to paper, Schwermer relented. The latest of three books on her journey, “Seeing Miracles In Life Without Money,” will be released this summer in Germany. As with its predecessors, all her royalties4 will go to the various charitable groups she supports. “Now, more and more young people want to change something in their lives and often they don’t know what they can change,” she says. “I changed something in my life.” Despite the legion of fans that have followed her for years, Schwermer has met her fair share of critics. After a trainwreck appearance on Italian talk show RAI TV, she stopped doing television interviews (in one taping, a host actually rifled through her suitcase).More often than not, however, it’s her friends who become frustrated with her come-and-go lifestyle. She’s turned down many invitations to extend her visits, including offers to stay permanently. “There are so many people who are lonely and they like to have friends at their side,” she says. “But I say no because I can’t. I feel that I must go. It’s always my job to be in the world with people.”

Cook an omelet in just a few easy steps. Begin to prepare the omelet mixture by blending two eggs and a 1/4 cup of milk until smooth. Next, set the temperature of a stovetop burner to medium-high and melt enough butter in a skillet to evenly coat the bottom and sides of the cooking surface. When the butter has just begun to brown, pour in the egg mixture. Allow the mixture to cook until it begins to pull away from the sides of the pan. Gently slide a spatula underneath the omelet at various points to free it from the pan. When the middle of the omelet is no longer runny, turn off the heat and allow the omelet to further solidify. Add your favorite ingredients--fresh tomatoes, cheese, and basil are recommended--and fold the omelet in half. If you know what you're doing, the whole process gives you a tasty breakfast in less than fifteen minutes.
