The Star: Ontario’s bird-watching phenom breaks Big Year record

The Star reported that Josh Vandermeulen, at age 22, broke the Ontario record for having a big year...

"Specifically, he wanted the record for the Ontario Big Year — a birding challenge in which expert field ornithologists try to see as many unique species as they can in a year. Vandermeulen, just 22, managed to set a new record for the feat, spotting 344 species over the year, shattering the old record of 338 species set in 1996 by Whitby resident Glenn Coady."
