There is a song I like to play in the car on my way to Big Day rendezvous points. It’s by the French pop band Tahiti 80, and yes it’s called “Big Day,” although it seems to be less about birding than about romancing with a woman. I sing it dramatically, sending cheerful puffs of breath toward the still-defrosting windshield, allowing my fine tenor to vibrate the air in anticipation of close finishes and state month records. | |||||||
