August is almost gone, which means your local migratory birds will soon depart as well, assuming they’ve hung around this long! Enjoy another (hopefully awesome) August weekend. Speaking of weekends, what will you be doing this weekend and will you be birding? Share your plans in the comments below.
Corey and I will likely engage in only incidental birding. Charlie, on the other hand, will be at the very epicenter of the birding universe as he works the British Birdfair as part of the official Birdfair TV team. Wow!!!
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!
Splendorous skies over Ramshorn-Livingston Sanctuary in Catskill, NY
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.
Splendorous indeed.
I will be visiting Arakhiya Animal Feed Farm in Qatar in the hopes of getting a good look at a Hoopoe!
Er … well, Leimen, I guess.
I’m off to the West Coast and headed to Monterey, CA to check in on some birds…hoping for some new lifers out there.
Eva, even if you don’t get too many lifers, and you should, the sea otters make up for it.
I plan to poke along the Dee Estuary on the Flintshire side to pick up some straggler summer migrants and the start of the winter visitors.
