March is on the wane, presumably going out like a lamb to bring April showers or something like that. Where will you be this weekend and will you be birding? Share your plans in the comments below.
I don’t think I’ll have time to dip on Saw-whet Owls this weekend so I’ll try to miss quality birds closer to home. Apparently, Charlie and Corey will be sticking close to home as well. Now we’ve all seen what Corey gets to gaze upon when he looks out his window. Charlie’s view is decidedly more pastoral…
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.
Love your photo…and I am even more excited to find another birder. I am an amateur birder and have started my own blogging highlight birds I have seen in my area. I have linked you to my birding blog.
Birding with some new friends around Lake Crabtree near Raleigh. Hopefully the first Yellow-throated Warblers will be in!
We’re heading north to Freezout Lake for tens of thousands Snow Geese and other waterfowl. Always a great time with great folks.
W G Jones State Forest with hopes of red cockaded woodpecker.
I’m back in central NY after three months in South Florida and am excited to get out and see the some of the early signs of spring. Saturday it is off to Montezuma NWR to see what has arrived!
Very nice photo! This weekend I’ll be birding on the Asian side of Istanbul.
I’m watching my own backyard and looking for new arrivals. I’ve yet to see a phoebe, kingbird, swallow of any kind, common yellowthroat, or any one of a number of other usual suspects/
I live near Denver, Colorado and will be at Chatfield State Park on Saturday and Jackson Lake State Park on Sunday. I saw a Glaucous Gull the last time I was at Jackson Lake.
The Texas Hill Country…it is wildflower season and the bluebonnets (as well as the birds) are calling!
On Saturday, at Chatfield State Park, we saw Osprey, Bald Eagles, Sandhill Cranes, Hairy Woodpecker, Horned Lark, Western Meadowlark, Sage Thrasher, Spotted Towhee and the usual common ducks, etc. On Sunday, at various locations near Jackson Lake State Park, Bald Eagles, Western Grebe, Ring-necked Pheasants, Great Blue Heron and thousands of blackbirds.
This weekend my husband and I saw 7 bald eagles here on Truman Lake in West Central Missouri. They are an awesome, inspiring sight! We always enjoy watching the birds head north each spring. We have a wonderful stop off point for the travelers here.
