<p>The top Oklahoma birder listed in last year’s <a href="https://www.birdcount.org/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Great Backyard Bird Count</strong></a> spotted 95 different species in a single weekend, and he achieved that rank without trying.</p>
<p>“Wish I could help, but to be honest, I’m not even sure how the GBBC works,” Brian Marra responded to an email interview request.</p>
<p>“Even if I could replace the house sparrows and starlings outside my windows with birds that actually belong on this continent, I still wouldn’t want to sit around the house staring at them. I am the opposite of a backyard birder.”</p>
