Where Are You Birding This Third Weekend of October 2016?

Leaf peeping carries a special connotation for those of us more interested in what is flying amidst the foliage. But many parts of the northern temperate zones have attained the height of autumnal splendor just in time for the weekend. Whether you are focusing on leaves or birds, keep your peepers wide open!

I’ll definitely be hiking around the Finger Lakes region for the best vantage point from which to drink in the vibrant colors of fall. Corey probably only has eyes for birds, so look for him at garbage dumps and sewage plants in the NYC area. 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!
