Where Are You Birding This Final Weekend of February 2010?
By Mike • February 25, 2010 • 22 commentsThe shortest month of the year is coming to a close and I feel like, for me, February will vanish without a trace. Too much of the mundane has been separating me from the sublime. Don’t make my mistakes! Get out there and enjoy nature. Where will you be enjoying nature this weekend and will you be birding? Share your plans in the comments below.
I doubt I’ll have much luck finding birds under the foot of snow expected to drop in Rochester over the next day. Corey won’t be seeing many birds either since he’ll be moving this weekend (poor guy!) With hope, Charlie will see enough birds for all of us as he explores the wilds of Wiltshire.
Whatever your plans this weekend, make time to enjoy SkyWatch Friday. Also be sure to come back Monday to share your best bird of the weekend!

that’s quite a bit of snow…but really pretty. Makes me wanna go run down that driveway. Hoping the sun will actually make an appearance here this weekend. If so, will definitely be playing outside!
I’m headed back into the Everglades for the next two weeks though I’ll start the birding (and photographing) at Ft. Desoto County Park in St. Petersburg, Florida. Should be a great time!
A beautiful winther landscape!
Nice Winter scene and sky
My plan is to find the La Sagra’s Flycatcher in Miami this weekend. I have been a slacker on this one! It’s time.
@Eva: Friends of mine from New York are chasing that very same bird today (they are in Florida on vacation). If I hear how they made out I’ll drop you an email (though I doubt I’ll hear anything before they get back).
@ Corey & Eva…
Good luck on the La Sagra’s. I have spent a lot of time in South Florida since it has been seen but haven’t made my way over to see it. I had one in the Dry Tortugas in 2005 so I haven’t chased it as a life or state bird. Good luck! I may try for it in a week or two when I am back on the east side of the glades. It’s Big Cypress for the next two weeks for me.

What a glorious winter scene. I love it!
I was going to Central Park tomorrow but it looks like the Parks Department is warning people to stay out of the woods… maybe Sunday.
@Carrie: I assume this is because someone got killed by a falling branch in Central Park?
Really beautiful….:)
I’m heading down to Puerto Penasco from the Phoenix area to ponder gulls & shorebirds, along with my husband & about 8 birding friends.
@Corey: This has been a very reliable bird lately. I chased one in the Everglades a couple months ago with no luck (going back a few times to find it). So it’s kinda silly that this one is so cooperating and I have failed to make the drive. Hopefully your friends found it easily and tomorrow I will too!
Beautiful winter scenery!
I’m planning to explore the local scene – backyard and neighborhood, and see what’s out and about.
@Corey: Yeah. Hopefully by Sunday all the branches that are going to give up under the strain have made their decision.
I am birding the local area here in Bangor Maine. This year we don’t have any snow left on the ground here. The warmer weather and rain has brought mud season early. A few of the local marshes have open water and the ducks have been gathering in large numbers.
