Dorian Anderson is a modern-day adventurer who embarked on a yearlong cross-country Biking for Birds project in 2014. Biking for Birds was his twist on the traditional North American Big Year, an informal birding competition to observe the largest number of species in a single year. In his case, he traveled only by bike, foot, and kayak, unaided by petroleum. His take on the Big Year added an unprecedented level of adventure to the endeavor and set a new standard for environmentally sustainable travel. His goals were to promote heightened interest in birds and conservation and to showcase the bicycle as a healthy and sustainable form of transportation.
