At this time of year with every manner of bird on the wing, one needn’t ask whether you’ll be birding this weekend. A better question, then, might be with whom are you birding? Many civilized nations will be honoring over the next few days those women who have birthed and raised us. What better way to thank your mom than to show her the splendors of spring migration?
Corey and I will be birding like mad. 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.
Great capture!!!
Sandy Hook Century Run at Sandy Hook, New Jersey. A part of the World Series of Birding, the Century Run does not involve running (unless someone spots a Mourning Warbler). We bird from dawn to dusk, and pledge a dollar a species to NJ Audubon. Unlike the World Series teams, this is an open group. It’s great birding and lots of fun.
Fabulous shot!
Beautiful sky shot.

Lovely..I was birding at home in Chennai, India and I saw the flameback and parakeets this season
Oh my I love those beautiful shots. I like wildlife photography. I am just saving up for the right gear. Hopefully in a couple of months I should be out birding and for some wildlife photography.
I used to go to a nearby lake in gurgoan, I noticed Bluethroat & Black Winged Stilt there.
