Today is March 4, the most motivational day of the calendar year. On such a day, when we are exhorted to march forth, what else can we do but answer the call. March forth, my friends, to birds and greatness!
March marks the time when raptors and owls begin to migrate through western New York; with hope, I’ll find a few this weekend. Corey and family will be visiting central New York and enjoying what avifauna the Capital Region has to offer.
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.
Corey, Enjoy my home area! A lot of nice birding spots around here. I will be out watching some Bald Eagle nests. It’s that time of year again.
I’ll be heading to Ithaca NY seeking the Cornell Western Tanager. Lord Bird save me, I’ve become a chaser.
I will be in the wetlands north of La Paz, Mexico. Still trying to get that perfect photo of the American Avocets that are in the area from a little while longer
