Here we go, about to enter the last month of what I hope has been a profoundly excellent one for each of you. Apart from all the other obligations and excitement December brings, you have one more month to chase down all your target birds for 2018. Ambitious birders have their work cut out for them, so get to it!
I’ll take a run up to the shore of Lake Ontario for some winter finch action. Corey will scour the coast of Queens for finches and more. 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.
Still scouring my way thru the Southern Arizona hotspots trying to pick that last few birds for the list. Probably do Sweetwater Wetlands at least one more time, then back ro Madera Canyon, and a trip to Burenos Aires NWR to see if we can find the Masked Bobwhite Quail. First part of next week will see us at Cieneha Creek Nature Preserve, Sabino Canyon, and historic Cano Ranch, trying get a push on for December.
I was in Iguazu AR area got some lifers! The Plush Crowned Jay and the Yellow Headed Caracara tops. Also Red rumped Cacique and the National bird Horneo
