Storyline Edit. 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 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? Rated PG for language and some sensuality. Did you know Edit. Goofs Attu island is not closer to Tokyo than Anchorage.

User reviews Review. Top review. This is not a comedy, but it doesn't mean its not a good movie. Its quite a shame that this is classified as a comedy when its clearly not, its not even about the birds.
This is a film about relationships, and how those relationships are affected during this time of the big year, Its a very light hearted film with a dramatic undertone. Its teaches us about life, and that it's a journey, not a competition. Some beautiful landscapes throughout this movie and beautiful birds FAQ 1.

If you told residents of Calvi that Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa, they would laugh out loud. The house, where discoverer of the New World once lived, is still visible, even if a bit in disrepair not far from the famous Citadel.
A plaque attests - if you had any doubts - that the famous figure was born in Calvi, in Corsica, around This conviction lies on the oral tradition, still very much alive in Corsica, which states that Colombus was the son of a fisherman living in the times when Calvi was ruled by the Genoese. They add that Columbus hid his Corsican origins from his Spanish supporters, because Calvi inhabitants had massacred a regiment from Aragon in Most historians believe he was actually born in Genoa in Others contend that he was Portuguese.
Some say he was Catalan. Other thought he was Jewish. In Calvi, such doubts are irrelevant. Signs have been installed in town, claiming Columbus as a local, while his effigy can be seen on the walls of the citadel. Another recent theory revived the controversy, claiming Columbus was indeed Corsican, but from Cap Corse.
