Birding

Best Bird of the Weekend (Second of March 2020)

March 9, 2020 by Mike 2 Comments

Some times of year offer more avian excitement than others, and recent signs even as far north as I live suggest we’ve just entered such a period. Harbingers of the season to come have been emerging slowly buy surely. Did you catch any this weekend?

For me, the view of Red-winged Blackbirds puffed up with territorial bravado signals the approach of spring, even if we’re have to endure a few more snowstorms to get there! Corey got out for some birding and got four new birds for the year. His favorite was the lone American Oystercatcher he found out on the barrier beaches, a recent returnee from further south. Easily his Best Bird of the Weekend!

How about you? What was your best bird of the weekend? Tell us in the comments section about the rarest, loveliest, or most fascinating bird you observed. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment.
