Birding

Where Are You Birding This Third Weekend of May 2019?

May 17, 2019 by Mike No Comments

Check your calendar. If the month reads May, don’t worry about making weekend plans. You’re already booked… to go birding. Just be sure to arrive at your favorite patch early. Staying late is optional but highly recommended.

Various spots along the southern shore of Lake Ontario call to me this weekend, promising tantalizing glimpses of birds that alight only briefly in the Rochester area before taking off for points north. Corey has been a man on a mission lately, knocking down rarities with a quickness. Track down a species that isn’t supposed to be seen in the NYC area, and you’ll likely find him too.

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!
