Like it or not, fall is falling all over the Northern Hemisphere and spring is sprung to the south. But what’s not to like about either season? These magical months of transition feature flora and fauna in flux, which can lead to your year’s best bird watching. So embrace change and get out there!

I’ll be hanging around Rochester waiting for Red Crossbills to fly overhead. Corey plans to canvas the Albany area for oddities, avian and otherwise. 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!


Keep your eyes to the skies for sunset silhouettes!
