Birding

Where Are You Birding This Final Weekend of January 2016?

Now that the U.S. federal government has nearly secured all of its National Wildlife Refuges from the hands of armed militants, we can all get back to celebrating our Constitutional right to go birding. This is, in fact, a universal right, so everyone should chase some birds this weekend for freedom!

I’m working most of the weekend, which will keep me from going after some of the winter specialties I still crave. Corey is back on the scene in NYC, so expect to encounter him wherever fancy birds may be found. 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!

After the Space Coast Birding Festival we have been moseying around Florida. This weekend we are birding the Panhandle. Today we went to St. Marks NWR some of the more interesting sightings for us was the vermilion flycatcher, 5 immature bald eagles, 100s of red heads with some wigeons mixed in. We will be moving on to Gulf shores Alabama for Feb. Great to meet Corey at the festival and really enjoy your blogl.
