October tends to be a rather windy month in many parts of the world. Keep your eyes to the skies… you never know what the wind may blow your way!
I’ll be cooped up inside for too much of the weekend, which will preclude me from any reasonable measure of birding. Corey, on the other hand, cannot be held back from exercising his Constitutional right to observe avian activity; look for him anywhere in New York the vagrant winds blow. 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.
Not sure where I will be other than birding somewhere in Costa Rica.
I shall once again, be combing the wilds of Chula Vista Marina View Park for the ever-elusive female wild-crow-bird. She hops and flitters along in front of me as she hopes for a worm or slug of hamburger.

Question: Why do wild birds form lifelong bonds with humans even when they are not hungry? They always hide their food from each other in comical scenarios while not eating anything in my sight.
