Spring may arrive in mid-March but in my latitude, it doesn’t begin to take root until April. Well,
April has come and with it, record-breaking warmth! I can’t imagine a better time to get outside. Where will you be this weekend and will you be birding? Share your plans in the comments below.
I will head once more unto the breach in my preternaturally unsuccessful campaign to see a Saw-whet Owl. Corey will be birding in and around his hometown of Saugerties, NY in hopes of his first Bald Eagle, Pileated Woodpecker, and Wild Turkey of the year in New York State. Charlie plans on shaking and muttering to himself in a dark corner until the official launch of Wiltshire Nature Walks on Sunday!
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!
Dawn breaks over Willow Lake, Queens
We are supposed to have a beautiful weekend here in Central NY. I will be in the woods treeclimbing all day Saturday here in Ithaca and then might head back to Montezuma NWR on Sunday or maybe I’ll stay more local. Can’t wait for the warblers to get here in a couple weeks!
I’m going to hit Prospect Park on Saturday and might do Jamaica Bay on Sunday, but that’s not firmed up yet.
Nothing for sure, but it’ll be somewhere with Waterthrushes.
Balcones Canyonland National Wildlife Refuge for the golden-cheeked warbler and black-capped vireo. Cross your fingers! 🙂
I think I’m going to hit Karori Wildlife Sanctuary, or maybe Mauiti/Soames Island (looking for Spotted Shags)
You captured the reflection, really beautifully!
