County Big Month totals represent all of the species seen in a single county during a calendar month.  I've separated the records for coastal and inland counties for obvious reasons.

OK, so we're crazy.  But give it a try.  You'll find that it's addictive.  You'll also find a greater appreciation for the bird life and habitats throughout your own county as you try to build each month's list.  The only surprise is a month without surprises.

The June Challenge:  Every June the Alachua Audubon Society conducts a friendly competition to SEE (not hear) as many species as possible within the boundaries of a single county.  During the Challenge we have braved the heat to identify late migrants early in the month and early arrivals near the end.  In the process we have found some real surprises.  Why not join us in your own county?  If you do, please send me your totals, and I'll pass them along to the Audubon board.  Meanwhile, you can blame Becky Enneis for spending a month in the heat.  The June Challenge is her creation.
