Jon set up the Big Day schedule as a Google Map:
We’ve done this every year for a bunch of years now. I’ve tried just staying up the day before until midnight, then doing the 24 hours from there. No sense going to sleep if you have to be up by midnight, right? Wrong! That leaves me up for two days straight. The sleep-deprivation gets me before the second day is done. It works better if I get a few hours of sleep the day before, between dinner and midnight, so I’ll turn in early tonight. I’ll be up again before tomorrow. Jon and I will meet at the birding center at midnight to listen for teal and rails, then off we go. We’ll be well into it by dawn and gaining momentum for the day.

And a very excited Ruddy Duck
