The Big Year backdrop

The Big Year 2011 Directed by David Frankel

Everyone is searching for something.

Three fanatical bird-watchers spend an entire year competing to spot the highest number of species as El Nino sends an extraordinary variety of rare breeds flying up into the U.S., but they quickly discover that there are more important things than coming out on top of the competition.
