<p>In birding, a Big Year is seeing or hearing as many different species of birds as possible in a calendar year. Three men pursue the Birder of the Year title: Kenny Bostick, who's seen a record 732 in a past big year, Stu Preissler, newly retired, and Brad Harris, who narrates the story. Life gets in the way: Bostick's wife wants a baby, Stu's firm needs him for sensitive negotiations, and Brad, divorced and underemployed at 36, has an encouraging mom and a disapproving dad. They criss-cross the continent (including a trip to Alaska's westernmost island), follow migration patterns, and head for storms that force birds to ground. Who will win, at what cost, and with what rewards?</p> <p>
U ornitologiji, "Big Year"znači prebrojati ili čuti i snimiti što je moguće više vrsta ptica u kalendarskoj godini. Tri čoveka se takmiče za titulu: Keni Bostik (Oven Vilson), koji drži rekord od 732 iz prošle godine, Stju Prajsler (Stiv Martin), odnedavno u penziji i Bred Heris (Džek Blek), koji priča priču. Život piše čudne priče: Bostikova žena želi bebu, firma treba Stjua za osetljive pregovore, a Bred, razveden i nezaposlen u 36., ima podršku majke i tatine prigovore. Oni će prokrstariti kontinentom (uključujući i najzapadnije ostrvo od Aljaske), slediti migracije i oluje koje prizemljuju ptice. Ko će pobediti, po koju cenu i kakva će biti nagrada?
