Virtual Program

Join COS and co-organizers Chicago BIPOC Birders and Chicago Bird Alliance for a BIG episode of Birds & Bytes. In 2024, Chicago birder Tarik Shahzad broke the Cook Country record for the number of species observed in a calendar year. Tarik will share his motivation behind attempting a Big Year, his most memorable chases and bird observations as well as what he has taken away from the experience.

Join from the comfort of your home as we view the film and have a post-film discussion with the filmmaker Bob Dolgan. Bring your dinner, your drinks, your questions!

All are welcome to attend this free event but RSVP is required.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
