Keep your eyes to the skies for birds flying in formation. If you see contrails, you and Redgannet probably visit the same pharmacist!
For those of us in temperate climes, fall migration seems a slippery thing. Frankly, I’m never really sure what phase of fall migration we’re in until kinglets pop up. Of course, by then, migration is mostly over. I hope I don’t see too many kinglets this weekend.
Corey and I will each be observing our respective corners of 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 hope to make it over the mountains and into the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica to catch some fall migration action.
Haha! this is cute!
great shof
Sandy Hook, New Jersey, open once again and I hope full of sparrows.
Great capture! Happy sky watching.
My sky.
Oh my! Oh my! Migratory birds jetting down? 🙂
