Wow, the fall foliage is full on where I happen to live. If your environment is anywhere near as enticing, you should have plenty to do this weekend! On that topic, what will you be doing this weekend? Will you be watching birds? Share your plans in the comments below.
The family and I are way behind on our apple picking so we’ll aim to rectify that oversight this weekend at a local orchard. Birds have been everywhere in these parts so I expect to eye a lot of them. Corey will be upstate on Saturday looking at relatives’ feeders. On Sunday, he’ll probably work his local patches in Queens. Charlie will be suspended between anxiety and anticipation whilst waiting to see if he gets sent anywhere this weekend; the upside is that he could go practically anywhere and see anything!
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!

Looks like we’ve got some serious rain incoming on Saturday so maybe this will knock some nice migrants out of the sky to go find on Sunday. Not sure where but thinking a full day hitting a bunch of local spots around Ithaca sounds like fun.
It would be nice to see some of that northeastern fall foliage, but I don’t miss it so much that I will leave birdy Costa Rica to see it. Although I might get rained on, I am going to bird my favorite rain forest at Quebrada Gonzalez ranger station in Braulio Carrilo National Park. If it doesn’t rain too much, I should still see a bunch of nice birds.
What spectacular sight!
Wow… fun surprise photo for skywatch Friday!
Thanks 🙂

I think I’ll do the backyard here in Chaska in Minnesota, since so many migrants have been passing through.
I’ll be heading to central Wisconsin where my in-laws live. They are in a mostly agricultural area so I’ll be looking for snow buntings and longspurs.
