The first weekend of June is, at least in the United States, our first full dose of unofficial summer. Yes, real summer doesn’t begin for another three weeks yet, but when weather heats up and non-breeding birds become increasingly scarce, spring is over!
I’m headed down to rural Pennsylvania, where fun birds and dark skies no doubt await. Corey will likely be found along the NYC coast succumbing to his unhealthy infatuation with terns. 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 am heading down to the famous kite surfing town of La Ventanna, to one of my favorite spots for gnatcatchers. I am breaking in a new camera this weekend, so we will see what kind of images I can get. The weather here in Mexico is heating up, should be 100-105F all weekend.
Have fun everybody!
