Summer is full swing here in the Northern Hemisphere, which means a birder’s fancy turns to less predictable targets. Traditionally, we might start chasing butterflies or odes, but these days bring more colorful fare. Are you Pokébirding?
I’m still in Michigan enjoying the lake life, despite the prosaic (for a New Yorker) birding. Corey never gives up on avian observation, so look for him somewhere in the Empire State. 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 will be birding in foothill rainforest tomorrow in Costa Rica- we always see something good!
I’ll be heading over to Karori to try and pick up a few year birds I haven’t got yet.
