Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was a cooperative Lesser Yellowlegs on the famed East Pond of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. The birds I was most amused by this weekend were an inquisitive pair of Carolina Wrens ; everything else kept pretty well hidden.

I, on the other hand, saw nothing special enough to rise to the level of BBOTW.

Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was a Long-billed Dowitcher at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens on Sunday morning, his first of the year. Of course, the reasons why robins might mob a crow are obvious, but I never attributed a mob mentality to that species! How about you? What was your best bird of the weekend?
