What is a Big Sit?
A Big Sit, similar to a Big Day, is a competition where a team of bird watchers count as many species as possible within a 24-hour period. While the Big Day involves moving around from spot to spot to maximize the number of species sighted, a Big Sit is precisely as it sounds. You stay in one location, a 17-foot diameter circle called a “count circle”, and only species seen or heard from that circle count for the final tally.
