Strycker will share humorous and inspiring stories and slides detailing his Big Year adventure. in Monsanto Auditorium, located in MU’s Bond Life Sciences Center. Jones lecture on October 15 beginning at 6 p.m. Strycker is the featured guest speaker at Mizzou Botanic Garden’s 2021 Jacquelyn K. He wrote a book about the experience, “Birding Without Borders”, has recorded a TEDx Talk about his efforts and continues to travel and talk about his grand adventure during which, he observed, anything could happen and a lot did. Strycker visited 41 countries and documented 6,042 bird species during what he refers to as his “Big Year” recording a daily blog along the way. “That’s what made the whole thing work - other birders. It put me in the countryside, off the beaten path with local people,” Strycker said. “Doing a big year of birding was a more realistic way to see the world. Noah Strycker documented his 2015 Big Year of birding in the book Birding Without Borders. And along the way he saw the world - everything from the Taj Mahal to Machu Picchu.
He slept on their couches and went with them to their favorite birdwatching haunts.
His planning process included contacting birders throughout the world to share the adventure. In 2015, after months of planning, then 29-year-old Strycker struck out on an epic 365-day “Birding Without Borders” quest to document as many of the estimated 10,000 bird species on the planet. He was instantly fascinated and immutably hooked on birds - watching them, researching them and writing about them. When a fifth grader in a small school in Eugene, Ore., a city he still calls home, Strycker’s teacher installed a window bird feeder in her classroom and would halt coursework whenever a bird stopped in for a meal. Noah Strycker photographs birds in Bali on his Big Year birding adventure during which he visited 41 countries and photographed more than half of the world’s bird species in 365 days.īird man Noah Strycker is a powerful example of the lasting and positive influence a good science teacher can have on the impressionable mind of an inquisitive child.
