Now that July 4th has passed, is it too soon to observe that summer will be over before we know it? I love summer and look forward to it all year, yet now that I’m in the thick of it, fall feels far too close. Better enjoy this blistering heat while it lasts! How will you enjoy your summer weekend and will you be birding? Please share your plans in the comments below.
I, as is my custom during the third weekend of July, will be birding this weekend at the world-famous Chicken Inferno in Potter County, PA. Corey will either be on a boat off of Montauk looking at seabirds, doing a butterfly count at Muttontown Preserve, or looking for rarities at Jamaica Bay; I guess it all depends on which way the wind is blowing. As for Charlie, he’ll be birding around Great Chalfied and is looking forward to it!
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!
Stunning skies over the centerpiece of last year’s Chicken Inferno
I will be heading to South Padre Island, Texas for the first Pelagic Trip of the year in Texas. Looking forward to birds and cetaceans!
What on earth??
The Santa Ritas Saturday morning, I hope some shorebirding Sunday afternoon.
chicken inferno sounds interesting – have all sorts of weird ideas of what it might involve! Love the chicken xo
Wow, is everyone in PA like this? I’ll go down to the Bosque Park along the Rio Grande to have a look at the hummingbirds.
Thank you for the weird photo and the chance to find out how the natives entertain themselves back there.
Happy Skywatching!
Cute image, birding is great fun
Beautiful sky and centerpiece.
You just could not resist giving us a bird/sky shot could you? Love your chicken.
I hope to be as close to the ocean as possible…maybe IN it! I love this chicken…I bet it’s really cute all lit up!
How refreshingly a sight. Please have a great Friday.
Hey this is really creative and cute…

Does that mean he is going to burn?
Too bad, he really is cute!
Saturday, I’m flying to Hartford and will be birding in Vermont and Maine. Puffins on Monday! Anyone going to Machias Seal Island on Monday from Jonesport, ME?
Great chicken sky!
Great shot of the sky..the chicken is cute too 🙂
I’ve never seen a chicken like that before!
I now know I will be on a boat off of Montauk, looking at seabirds. Awesome.
Laugh out loud funny. Enjoy the bird counting.
It’s shorebird season, so I’m visiting as many shorebird sites in the Chicago area as possible. This week and weekend I will be going to Goose Pond in McHenry Co. IL, McHenry Dam, and a local miudflat.
