Birding

Where Are You Birding This Third Weekend of August 2008?

While the autumnal equinox is still more that a month away, for most of us, summer is almost over. Have you accomplished what you meant to this summer? I have, but now I’m too exhausted to do anything else! How about you?  Where are you going this weekend and will you be watching birds? Comment below on the excitement you have planned!

I’m finally home for a weekend but will be entertaining guests, and thus unable to appreciate more than my backyard birds. Charlie will be back from Hong Kong and gearing up for Nigeria and who knows where else. Corey will be birding in an undisclosed location; if you spot him out on the trail, keep it quiet!

As you prepare for yet another outstanding August weekend, be sure to celebrate Sky Watch Friday…
