He had better luck on Sunday, seeing a host of autumn migrants including his Best Bird of the Weekend, an Orange-crowned Warbler at the Queens Botanical Garden that he spotted just before the New York City Audubon bird walk he led. Sadly, the bird did not reappear for the folks on the walk. How about you?

School is not yet in session here in New York, which means we all have one more weekend to whoop it up. Summer, such as it was, is almost over. Depending on who you are, living life to the hilt may or may not include birding.

Corey spent Saturday journeying back to New York from the Bahamas and most of Sunday recovering. With winter on the wane, my chance to visit with our local Short-eared Owls seemed to be slipping away, so I rectified that with a quick sundown sojourn. Fortunately, before he left he saw some great birds on Friday.

I’m traveling through Central New York this weekend but doubt the opportunity to spy anything different from what I can spot in my yard. As the season changes, birding changes. This time of year might not offer the most dynamic avian action, but you’ll find plenty of reason to wander out. How about you?

One of my early memories of birds is the abundance of Ospreys I saw after moving from Syracuse, New York downstate to eastern Long Island at the age of eight. I know that Ospreys nest in upstate central New York, but if I saw them there as a child, I don’t recall it (though my father will probably remind me that we did).

New York City apartments don’t allow feeders to be hung from fire escapes (though I know certain birders that skirt that rule), and it wasn’t until I had already been birding for four-and-a-half years that I obtained a small yard in central New Jersey in which I could place a feeder or two or three. I came late to bird feeding.
