This weekend, we’re celebrating Independence Day in the good old U.S. of A. The 4th of July means a lot of things to Americans, among them fireworks, parades, barbecues, and best of all, three days in a long summer weekend. While birding isn’t traditionally associated with this holiday, enterprising enthusiasts usually find a place to fit it in! So how are you spending the first weekend of July and will you be birding? Share your plans in the comments below!
I and my family are headed back down to Potter County, PA for equal parts work and relaxation. The birding was so enjoyable a couple of weeks ago that I can’t wait to get back. Charlie just moved house to a fancy estate. With hope, he’ll get a chance to wander the grounds and meet his avian neighbors. Corey, of course, will be birding up a storm… catch him if you can.
Whatever your plans this weekend, make time to enjoy SkyWatch Friday…
If you like this view from a van in Kazakhstan, Corey’s got nine more for you!
Rockport, Mass… starting our vacation week. Will include at least one pelagic trip – I hope.
I’ll be hopefully getting Corey on his life Mississippi Kites…
I’ll be chillin’ in Nairobi. I was just thinking last night that I’ve been out of the States on four of the last five 4th of Julys. Good birding, all!
Beautiful shot Mike, love the countryside.
Have a great weekend

I think I’ll take a walk in the Eno River SP in Durham. Can you believe I still haven’t seen a Louisiana Waterthrush this year? Dang baby…
A desolate but beautiful scene. I’m glad I visited and had a chance to see it.

I’ll be chasing Mississippi Kites upstate tomorrow (it’s been awhile since I had a lifer in the ABA area) and on Sunday I’ll be somewhere around NYC.
