Have you heard about the Fantasy Birding website???🎉 Lindsay's virtual big year is up to 103 species! 🎉

For those of you who are new to Education Coordinator Lindsay Cain's adventure, she has embarked on a Michigan-focused big year through the Fantasy Birding platform, which allows her to bird around the state without having to leave her house.

The game offers more than just convenience; it is also a great way to hone your bird ID skills!

When you sign into the Fantasy Birding website and click the play button, it begins to pop-up live bird sightings showcasing a picture that isn't immediately identified, allowing you to practice your ID skills. There's even an option to hear the bird through a recording. When you're ready, you can click on the bird and check if you correctly identified the species.

"I've found the bird sighting pop-ups to be incredibly helpful in building my confidence in birding. Not only can I practice using photos, but I can begin learning songs," said Lindsay.

You can read more at michiganaudubon.org/fantasy-birding-helps-you-hone-your-id-skills/.

Check back each month as Lindsay shares more of her experiences with Fantasy Birding, updates her species count, highlights birding hotspots, and more.
