Once spring has tentatively sprung in the northern half of the world, spring break must inevitably follow. So many of you are rushing to warmer climes for beaches and booze… how I envy you!
Not wishing to fight the throngs of Rochesterians mobbing the airport, I’ve decided to stick around and hope for some early migrants in the Southern Tier. Corey will be holding down the NYC Metro area. 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.
I’m hoping to finally visit my local hawkwatch for the first time. I’ve never had a chance to go there.
I have been trying for a long time to get good sharp pics like yours. I have a Canon EOS 7 D
Any suggestions?
Spent the day at Magee Marsh in Ohio. Very large flock of trumpeter swans, red head canvas back blu and green wing teals scaup (lesser and greater) pintail and American Wigeons
I birded in Islamabad Pakistan. I only got one more species for my life list: Brahminy Starling. Later in the day on a trip about 3 hours south of Islamabad in Punjab Province I incidentally spotted and photographed a Green Bee-eater and a Purple Sunbird. So yesterday I added 3 to my life list.
