Another weekend is here, carrying all sorts of inclement weather, natural disasters, and societal upheaval. At least we have birds!
I’m pretty locked up this weekend, which may make bird chasing tough, but a trip down to the Southern Tier always has the potential for surprises. Corey will be scouting for what promises to be an outstanding Queens Christmas Bird Count, assuming the weather cooperates. 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.
A trip to the Southern Tier is indeed nice and a reminder that NY state offers up more natural beauty than most people realize. This weekend, I hope to get in a morning of birding in the mountains of Costa Rica.
