The Big Year DVD was released TODAY!
- The Big Year DVD released January 31, 2012
Based on a loose adaptation of Mark Obmascik’s book The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature, and Fowl Obsession, the film is a heartwarming tale of three extreme birders who embark on an unexpected journey of self-discovery as they each strive to make their mark in the birding world by spotting the highest number of species in North America in a single year.
- Steve Martin & Jack Black

Happy Birding!

I’m very interested in the extra features. Its also only a matter of time before we start seeing lists from birders of all the species seen and all the bird errors made during the movie. Though I’m not one to do that myself, It’ll be fun to see what they come up with.
Hi, Robert! I have no doubt we will be reading those lists in no time at all. What extra features have they included in the DVD?
