In North America, we celebrate International Migratory Bird Day on the second Saturday of May? Find out by getting out! What will you be doing this weekend and is birding on your itinerary? Share your plans in the comments below.
I’m pleased to report that I will be birding the heck out of the Lake Erie Marsh Region, otherwise known as “The Warbler Capital of the World,” as part of the Biggest Week in American Birding. Yee-haw! Charlie and Corey, on the other hand, will not. Look for them close to their respective homes.
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!
Keep your eyes to the skies for wicked raptors like this Plumbeous Kite over Reserva Mangaloma in Ecuador
I’m headed to Montezuma NWR in the Finger Lakes to try and photograph Sora, Virginia Rail and Marsh Wren tomorrow morning. Hopefully I’ll get out to chase some warblers on Saturday morning too!
I’m leaving warm and sunny Dallas to head for a week in Tofino, British Columbia. I just bought myself two new bird field guides for the Western half of North America.
just beautiful…flying so free!
Beautiful sky and bird fly high! Amazing shot thanks for sharing! Happy weekend!

I’ll be birding the marshes too! Hope it lives up to the claims of “Warbler Capital of the World”. 🙂
I’m heading to Alley Pond Park in NYC. The Audubon’s harbor heron surveys are starting again.
I’ll be trying to learn how to separate Black-capped and Carolina Chickadees at my Grandparents house in Pennsylvania (in the overlap zone). After a while I’ll probably give up in disgust, declare that they’re all hybrids, and get back to looking for warblers.
Hitting Central Park bright and early tomorrow… Prolly Jamaica Bay on Sat to see if there are any hidden secrets… Central Park on Sunday…
How is it that I haven’t seen a white-eyed vireo in NY State yet? They were bellowing in JBay… sigh.
Nice capture! Even I have posed a few birds on my blog this time 🙂
Going to the Arb in Ann Arbor for the migratory bird survey. Probably will do the survey with the stroller, baby and wife. Also need to tun up my bike for the following week end (attempt at a carbon-free big day record in the county). Sunday is mother’s day!
I’ll be enjoying the company of birds and birders alike at the Urban Bird Festival in Ramsey County, MN. In between signing copies of my Bob White Birder Murder mysteries, I plan on watching some bird banding and maybe taking in a bird walk or two.
