May is well and truly upon us and with it, the kind of mass migrations that make your heart pump and blood sing. We should all be moving somewhere this weekend, if only to be consistent to the spirit of the season. Where will you be making your move this weekend? Will you be birding? Let us know what you’ve got planned in the comments below.

I believe I’ll be birding somewhere special this weekend but my wife is keeping our destination secret from me. I suppose I could turn up anywhere in the northeast U.S. so if you’re around, keep an eye out! Corey will be making the rounds throughout the NYC Metro area. Look for him too since he’s been getting on some great birds lately. As for Charlie, I’m afraid I have no idea where he’ll be this weekend but if we’re lucky, he’ll bring back awe-inspiring photos like these.

Whatever your plans this weekend, make time to enjoy SkyWatch Friday


Keep your eyes to the skies for regal raptors like this Red-tailed Hawk over Montezuma NWR
