This is one of those weekends where actually watching birds gets in the way of writing about them, so I’ll cut to the chase. See any nice birds lately?

The best bird of my weekend was Japanese Waxwing spotted where else but in Japan! The vision of a waxwing with a crimson terminal tail tip was both incongruous and exciting. Corey’s BBOTW was a Brown Pelican at Montauk Inlet, a good bird in New York State, especially in December!

How about you? What was your best bird of the weekend? Tell us in the comments section about the rarest, loveliest, or most fascinating bird you observed. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment.


Since my waxwings shots weren’t that hot, let’s enjoy Corey’s wayward
