Birding

Where Are You Birding This Second Weekend of April 2018?

April 12, 2018 by Mike 2 Comments

With all of my gallivanting across a small swath of the American Southwest last week, I plumb forgot to ask you where you were birding. Hopefully, you can find consolation for this oversight in the fact that I saw lots of juicy (figuratively, not literally) birds from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. But here we are again, facing a weekend with unlimited birding potential…

I’m back in wintry Rochester wondering how I’m going to spot American Woodcocks in a snowstorm. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. Corey will make sure no stones in Queens are left unturned in search of spring migrants. 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!

Heading to Cape Reinga, the northern most tip of the north island of New Zealand, well that you can drive to. Along the way, there are a couple of fresh water lakes that said to be holding New Zealand Dabchicks as well as Australian Little Grebes…keep your fingers crossed!

We are working our way up the Texas coast and will be at High Island on April 14 and 15. Strong winds from the north predicted on 4/14.
