Neil Hayward is the new Big Year birding champ, after spending most of 2013 zipping around North America in an attempt to see how many bird species he could identify in a calendar year. He tallied 750 species, more than anyone ever before.
It wasn't easy. He traveled all over the United States from his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, flying 193,758 miles, driving 51,758 miles and logging 147 hours at sea.
