You may have already heard about this. Two brothers who don’t know much about birds — “Sandpiper, that must be a sandpiper, it’s been pipin’ sand heavy duty all day” — and a life list about 4 birds long, decide to go hardcore and do a Big ABA Year, despite a profound lack of money and expertise. It’s funny, profane, goofy, geeky, lots of quickie weird shots plus film of real birds, music, other birders, small van living, the joys of eBird, crappy food, yada, yada, yada.

It’s free. Watch it.
