We couldn't make The Big Sit! happen without the help and support of many folks and organizations. Thanks to A.J. Hand for letting us borrow his photograph of a Green-winged Teal. Thanks to all the Sitters! who participated and the circle captains who packaged the data. Thanks to all the non-North American circle captains for being very helpful and patient with my repeated emails and questions. Thanks to the Fyke Nature Association who again donated $50 to the NHBC. Thanks to Swarovski Optik who has been a generous partner for the last four years by providing the $500 prize for The Golden Bird! Last, but not least, THANKS to Bird Watcher's Digest for co-sponsoring this year's event. They covered all of our costs plus some and did a fantastic job with the t-shirts.
