Kenny Bostick, Stu Preissler in Brad Harris so trije nadobudni opazovalci ptičev, ki tekmujejo v tem, kateri izmed njih bo v enem letu videl več različnih vrst ptic. Glede na to, da so zaradi orkana El Nina v ZDA po sili razmer priletele mnoge eksotične vrste ptic, imajo vsi trije priložnost zmagati, toda kaj, ko jih pri njihovem podvigu ovirajo tudi zasebne težave in medsebojna nesoglasja. Kateri bo zmagovalec?
In birding, a Big Year is seeing or hearing as many different species of birds as possible in a calendar year. Three men pursue the Birder of the Year title: Kenny Bostick, who's seen a record 732 in a past big year, Stu Preissler, newly retired, and Brad Harris, who narrates the story. Life gets in the way: Bostick's wife wants a baby, Stu's firm needs him for sensitive negotiations, and Brad, divorced and underemployed at 36, has an encouraging mom and a disapproving dad. They criss-cross the continent (including a trip to Alaska's westernmost island), follow migration patterns, and head for storms that force birds to ground. Who will win, at what cost, and with what rewards?
