How was your weekend? Any good birds? Don’t be shy… tell us about your best bird!
My own weekend was rather devoid of birds; I couldn’t even take pleasure in the asymmetrical clash between the Eagles and Falcons. Charlie didn’t see much worth mentioning either. Fortunately, Corey redeemed us and himself by finally finding that Queens Ash-throated Flycatcher he’s been chasing.

Third time’s the charm
Mike is a leading authority in the field of standardized test preparation, but he's also a traveler who fully expects to see every bird in the world. Besides founding 10,000 Birds in 2003, Mike has also created a number of other entertaining but now extirpated nature blog resources, particularly the Nature Blog Network and I and the Bird.
What a beautiful photograph of the little Queens Ash-throated Flycatcher against the back-drop of the colour of the brick wall, the final try paid off beautifully, delightful~
Eared Grebe was my best bird. Not a stop press rarity by any means, but pretty good for my area.
Merlin. That was my best bird. Watched it successfully hunt several days in a row–right in Dallas, too, not out in the country. Here’s hoping it stays around for a while…
The Anna’s Hummingbird who was on my feeder before it was lightout yesterday morning was my best bird of the weekend.
That self-same Ash-throated Flycatcher!
Andy and myself went camping/birding in Brevard County, FL for my birthday weekend (actually a Monday and Tuesday but my two days off work for the week). We re-located the Neotropic Cormorant at Viera Wetlands. A great state bird.
Well, I had a Tufted Duck in Rhode Island. Nice and easy to find, though it was interested in sleeping so it did not afford the best looks at the smallish tuft.
