The last weekend of April may as well be May, which we know is a major month of migration. Don’t miss it!
I have family visiting this weekend, which means my chances of getting out into the field seem slim. Wish me luck! Corey needs some luck as well; he missed the vagrant Swainson’s Warbler in Central Park, so he’ll be looking for his own in Queens. How about you? Where will you be this weekend and will you be birding? Share your plans in the comments below.
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!
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.
Hopefully checking some spot in Costa Rica for bamboo birds.
The Camargue, hoping for some late shorebirds and … surprises.
