DESCRIPTION:Tuesday, April 28, 2026\n\n\n\n\nIn 2024, Tarik Shahzad brok
 e the Cook County Big Year record after only two years of birding experien
 ce. Tarik is a born and raised northwest side Chicagoan who currently work
 s for The Nature Conservancy's Illinois chapter as an environmental policy
  advocate. Owen Woodhouse, an ENSBC member and guide and Tarik's main 'Bi
 g Year' birding mentor, was instrumental in helping him break the record.
  Owen is a 17 year old birder and bird photographer based in Wilmette. He 
 is an avid fan of observing any form of visual migration, including lakew
 atching, hawkwatching, and morning flight counts. Owen completed a Cook 
 County Big Year in 2022 at the age of 13.  \n\n\nWhat’s it like to embark 
 on a Big Year, how did they work with others to set the new record, wher
 e did they travel, what did they see, and what did they learn? Owen and 
 Tarik will entertain us with answers to these questions and their experien
 ces along the way to their Big Accomplishments.  Join Owen and Tarik for a
 n exhilarating and fun evening.\n\n\nIn person, Ecology Center, 7:30\n\n
 \nNote: April 28 is the ENSBC brief Annual Meeting where we vote on new me
 mbers of the Board.\n\n\n \n\n\n
