Birding

Where Are You Birding This Final Weekend of August 2015?

August 28, 2015 by Mike No Comments

As August goes, so go the summer doldrums (or winter lull, depending on your half of the world.) Not everyone experiences a dip in bird activity during the nonmigratory months, but those of us who do are ready to see some new birds NOW!

Unfortunately for me, work will keep me indoors this weekend. If I’m lucky, something special will fly over my harried head. Corey will be out and about in the NYC area this weekend; if you are too, you’d be crazy to miss the 10th Annual Shorebird Festival at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. Seriously, Jamaica Bay has some of the best birding anywhere, and this is your chance to see ALL the shorebirds.

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!
