Birding

Where Are You Birding This Final Weekend of October 2020?

October 30, 2020 by Mike No Comments

In a normal year, we’d enter the final weekend of October thinking of trivialities like tricks, treats, and maybe costume parties. Instead, a cloud of dread hangs over most of the world. Be strong! There are certain days, specific moments when each of us has the potential to change the world for the better. When those moments come your way, rise to the occasion for yourself, your loved ones, and your planet. And what should you do during the hours, days, and weeks when everything you care about isn’t under siege or on the line? Go birding 😉

Some splendid winter finches have been turning up sporadically along Lake Ontario. If all goes well, I’ll be able to chase one or two down this weekend. Corey will, of course, attempt the same (probably more successfully) in Queens. 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!
