Birders of every faith and philosophy are in the Christmas spirit this weekend, or rather the Christmas Bird Count spirit. We wish you a merry one!
I don’t usually participate in the Rochester counts, but I plan to get out in some capacity this weekend. Corey more than makes up for my apathy by contributing to multiple counts; look for him in North Nassau on Saturday and his beloved Queens on Sunday.
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.
I’m going to the Wirrall tomorrow to look for Brent Geese and then exploring North Wales with Biggest Twitch on Sunday.
Ottawa Christmas Bird Count! My friend and I have done the same area for the last few years, so itll be a lot of fun
