SELF-GUIDED: 24-HOUR RECORDING
Mike traipses across Santa Clara County hoping to record as many vocalizing birds as possible. Like a Photo Big Day but with fewer cameras and more microphones. Since this is a Completely Original Idea, it's anybody guess how many species will be observed - 10 or 100 are both reasonable guesses, if a bit extreme - but it's certain to be enjoyable and exhausting (recording gear is heavy).
